Man-induced Hazards ➔ Hazardous activities ➔ Lifestyle ➔ Industrial Hazards and Vulnerability Mapping - areas in the community that are vulnerable to a specific hazard are identified then located in the map. __________ analysis - Tool to describe the characteristics of the hazards in terms of the following: a.Frequency - How often do the hazards occur?b.Duration - How long does it occur?c.Speed on onset - How fast does it occur upon initial detection?d.Intensity - What is the strength or magnitude?e.Probability - What is the chance that it will occur?f.Forewarning - is there adequate time to prepare upon detection?g.Manageability - How manageable are the effects of the hazards?
