2025 Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />Kittitas County, Washington <br /> <br /> <br />Chapter 4: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment 61 <br />Probability Description Impact <br />Factor <br />Low Populations exposed to this hazard are likely to experience minimal <br />adverse impacts, such as ambulatory injuries. 1 <br />No Impact Populations exposed to this hazard are not likely to experience <br />significant adverse impacts. 0 <br />4.3.4.2. Underserved/Equity Factor <br />Underserved/equity values were assigned based on the best available data for underserved populations <br />vulnerable to the hazard event and whether the affected population is likely to experience <br />adverse/disproportionate impacts from the hazard incident resulting in greater disparity in equity. Table <br />4-10 outlines the underserved/equity factors used in the risk assessment calculation of this Plan. <br />Table 4-10. Underserved/Equity Factor <br />Probability Description Impact <br />Factor <br />High <br />Underserved populations exposed to the hazard are likely to <br />experience significant adverse/disproportionate impacts, such as <br />fatalities and severe injuries. <br />3 <br />Medium <br />Underserved populations exposed to the hazard are likely to <br />experience some adverse/disproportionate impacts, such as injuries <br />requiring acute medical care. <br />2 <br />Low <br />Underserved populations exposed to the hazard are likely to <br />experience minimal adverse/disproportionate impacts, such as <br />ambulatory injuries. <br />1 <br />No Impact Underserved populations exposed to the hazard are not likely to <br />experience significant adverse/disproportionate impacts. 0 <br />4.3.4.3. Property Damage Factor <br />Property damage values were assigned based on the expected total property damage incurred from a <br />hazard incident. It is important to note that values represent estimates of the loss from a major incident <br />based on historical data or probabilistic models/studies. Table 4-11 outlines the property damage factors <br />used in the risk assessment calculation of this Plan. <br />Table 4-11. Property Damage Factor <br />Probability Description Impact <br />Factor <br />High <br />More than $5 Million in property damages is expected from a single <br />major hazard event, or damages are expected to occur to 15% or more <br />of the property value within the jurisdiction. <br />3 <br />Medium <br />More than $500,000 but less than $5 Million in property damages is <br />expected from a single major hazard event, or damages are expected <br />to occur to more than 5% but less than 15% of the property value <br />within the jurisdiction. <br />2 <br />Low <br />Less than $500,000 in property damages is expected from a single <br />major hazard event or less than 5% of the property value within the <br />jurisdiction. <br />1 <br />No Impact Little to no property damage is expected from a single major hazard <br />event. 0
