2021 Multijurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Executive Summary <br /> <br /> <br />The results indicate the following general patterns: <br /> The application of an equity lens as developed for this plan for the countywide risk ranking increases the <br />risk level for every hazard of concern except drought. The change is due to the higher resolution of data <br />for the population impact component of the risk ranking protocol. <br /> With or without the equity lens, sea-level rise has the highest overall risk score in the countywide ranking. <br />Each planning partner also rated hazards for its own area. Figure ES-3 summarizes how the participating planning <br />partners rated each hazard; the results shown represent equity lens ratings for partners who chose to apply the <br />equity lens and baseline ratings for those who did not. The results indicate the following general patterns: <br /> The hazard rated as high risk for the greatest number of planning partners is earthquake, which was rated <br />as a high risk for all partners but one. <br /> The hazard rated as medium risk for the greatest number of planning partners is severe weather, which <br />was rated as a medium risk for all partners but one. <br /> The drought and tsunami hazards were rated low risk by the greatest number of planning partners. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Figure ES-3.
