Study Notes
Target Assessment Concepts
- Directly affects the likelihood of impact and consequences based on the type of target.
- Wind direction is more influential on tree failure direction than the direction of defects.
Likelihood of Impact
- Medium likelihood of impact for passengers in cars traveling next to a tree with a large dead branch.
- Very low likelihood of impact for occasionally used areas that have protection from strikes.
- Low likelihood of failure for occasionally used areas without protection and uncertain fall direction.
Consequences of Failure
- Four categories of consequences from failure: Severe, Significant, Minor, Negligible.
- Minor consequences arise from short power distortions on secondary lines.
- Temporary traffic disruptions on secondary roads are classified as Minor consequences.
- Damage to lawn or landscape beds is considered Negligible.
Stratification and Prioritization Processes
- Stratification is used for classifying targets according to their characteristics.
- Prioritizing is the process of ranking targets based on their potential impact.
Type of Target Influence
- The type of target is directly linked to the likelihood of impact and is influenced by occupancy rates.

Description
This quiz explores the concepts of target assessment, likelihood of impact, and consequences of tree failure. It focuses on the stratification and prioritization processes essential for identifying risks associated with tree management. Test your knowledge on how environmental factors influence tree safety and the potential impacts on surrounding areas.
