Agenda National Risk Index (NRI) Background FEMA Region 8 Previous Work NRI Working Group Breakdown and Progress

• Hazard Data• Social Vulnerability and Resilience Data• Built Environment Data

Mockups Timeline

Project Goal To develop a Nationwide Natural Risk Index

• To include national set of hazard-specific risk indices • To be used independently, or combined to create a multi-hazard index• Aim to represent a level/rank/indicator of risk and will leverage existing baselines and datasets

as much as possible. • To include numerous authoritative geospatial datasets (hazard layers/areas, previous events

data, risk layers, etc.). • Interactive online viewer that will allow the user to:

Develop risk index for defined geographic region Export tabular and geospatial results for each hazard Generate maps and reports to be compatible for direct insertion into Hazard Mitigation Plans

Enhance FEMA Initiatives• The outputs from this project will serve to inform regional project prioritization, resource

allocation, mitigation/land use planning, and community engagement strategies across FEMA.

SUPPORT National Stakeholders• This data can be incorporated into State Business Plans, State and Local Mitigation Plans,

inform the Areas of Mitigation Interest (AOMI) dataset to prioritize funding, and be used to identify action to reduce future risk.

31

• We have discussed multiple approaches:

Risk Approaches

• Historic• A record of incidents that have already occurred

• For example, a map showing that over the past 50 years, 3 major hurricanes occurred in the same Florida county

• Probabilistic • A probability of an event occurring based on the magnitude of the event

• For example, 100-year storms or 1000-year storms where the rate of occurrence of an event is linked to the severity of a storm

• Annualized• The probability that a risk will occur in a particular year

• For example, if insurance data suggests that a serious fire is likely to occur once in 25 years, then the annualized rate of occurrence is 1/25 = 0.04 (or 4%)

• Loss Estimation• Based on the economic impact of an incident

• For example, average dollar losses per year

32

• The NGDC/WDS Tsunami Runup database (left) and the USGS Federal Fire Occurrence database (right) both show historic data, locations where these hazards have occurred in the past

Data Source - Example

33

• The USGS National Seismic Hazard Map, however, takes an probabilistic approach, showing peak ground accelerations likely to be exceeded in a 50 year period

Data Source - Example

34

Data Classification: Type

• Goal is to present data as risk scores• Individual hazard probability• Individual hazard risk score• Composite hazard risk score

• Need to have a consistent data classification for each individual hazard in order to compare risk scores across hazards

35

Hazard + _________ = Risk? Social Vulnerability – susceptibility of social groups to the impacts of

hazards such as disproportionate death, injury, loss, or disruption of livelihood

Resilience – ability to adequately recover from the impacts of hazards

Risk – the intersection of hazard and assets

Are we limited to just Social Vulnerability OR Resiliency?What about exploring both options and let the end user decide?

Our Goal is to create a National Risk Index, not to create a Social Vulnerability or Resiliency Index.

What about the Built Environment Exposure?

All-Natural Hazards

(As defined by the Natural Hazards Working Group)

37

Social Vulnerability Indices

• Adger, et al. – Predictive Indicators of Vulnerability• Cutter, et al; University of South Carolina, Hazards and Vulnerability Research

Institute – Social Vulnerability Index• CDC Social Vulnerability Index• ESRI – Social Vulnerability• Texas Coastal Planning Atlas – Social Vulnerability Mapping Tools• Wisner, et al.: PAR model, Access model

• Hazard-specific:• Davidson and Shah – EDRI (Earthquake Disaster Risk Index)• Lambert and Davidson – HDRI (Hurricane Disaster Risk Index)• NOAA, Coastal Services Center –Social Vulnerability Profiling (SVP), Roadmap for Adapting to

Coastal Risk• Rygel, et al. – Social Vulnerability Index

38

Social Vulnerability Path Forward

39

Social Vulnerability Indices: SoVI Developed by the University of South Carolina’s HVRI

• Grouped into 7 components with 29 variables (SoVI 2010):1) Race and class (7 variables); 2) Wealth (5 variables); 3) Elderly residents (6 variables); 4) Hispanic ethnicity (5 variables); 5) Special needs individuals (2 variables); 6) Native American ethnicity (1 variables); and 7) service industry employment (2 variables).

• Data used: five-year American Community Survey estimates (Census), the Geographic Names and Information System (GNIS), and model-based Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) (Census)

• Comparative index at the county or subcounty level• Positive and Negative component loading

40

Why Resilience In a traditional Risk calculation, Resilience is

excluded

We argue that Resilience should be included• Overall community risk will be increased if resilience is low• Vulnerability and Resilience are not the same Vulnerability – pre-event Resilience – post-event

41

Resilience Multiple definitions of resiliency

• Commonly: “The ability of a community exposed to hazards

to adapt, by resisting or changing, in order to reach or maintain an acceptable level of functioning and structure”

• Generally: The ability to adequately recover from the

impacts of hazards

There is no standard methodology or framework

No consensus on factors – What makes something ‘resilient’?

In other words – What goes into the funnel?

Demographic

Systems

Transportation

Resiliency

42

Studies that are wide in scope tend to narrow in focus and vice-versa • Nationwide evaluations only measure singular metrics

Examples: America’s Infrastructure Report Card

Looks only at health of major infrastructure categories Risk Nexus: Enhancing Community Flood Resilience: a way forward

Only looks at risk of flood

• Use of composite metrics is limited to localized evaluations Examples:

Coastal Resilience Index Looks at many variables but only in Gulf of Mexico Region

Framework for Measuring Coastal Hazard Resilience in New Jersey Looks at many variables but some are only pertinent to NJ and Coastal Communities

New Orleans Index Looks mainly at economic resilience of city of New Orleans and surrounding communities

Trending Challenges

43

Baseline Resilience Indicators for Counties: HVRI

• 6 category scores, plus total score

• Identified set of quantitative baseline indicators for measuring disaster resilience

• Relationship between resilience, vulnerability, and the relative impact of disasters on rural and non-rural places

Example 1

44

and a resiliency index for each of four factors: Social Economic Environmental Infrastructure

45

Incorporating the Built Environment Currently identified vulnerability and resiliency indices focus primarily

on socio-demographic factors

Quantitative metrics and tools for assessing built environment on a nationwide scale

• Using the overall infrastructure investment dollars in an area as a measure of potential consequence?

• Ability to incorporate into census tracts on a national scale?

• Current through is to incorporate the Hazus GBS (General Building Stock) Building Value in 2016 dollars

Have discussed building footprints, postal service geocode, parcels, etc.

46

Components Vulnerability – Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) procured

from HVRI-University of South Carolina Resilience

• Nation-wide top-down index• Have not received final decision from workgroup yet

Built Environment – FEMAs Hazus GBS• Built Environment Dollar Exposure (adjusted for inflation)• Does this need to be normalized for population?

Hazard – Authoritative Hazard Data Sources

47

Calculating Risk Risk = Consequence * Probability Risk = Hazard * (Vulnerability – Resources) Risk = (Hazard * Vulnerability) / Capacity to Cope Risk = Impact * (Threat * Vulnerability)/ Countermeasures

48

Composite Risk Score Calculation

Likelihood (Hazard) – is the probability or historic observed frequency of a hazard Consequence (Built Environment + SoVI) – exposure

component of NRI Resilience (TBA) – Communities ability to recover after a

disaster
