Community Action Planning Disaster Risk Reduction Workshop WVS-Somaliland operation 28th June 2012

Risk/threat Prioritization
Key threats/ shocks / Hazards are should be identified and linked up Prioritised based on vulnerability Participants are asked to list all the disasters experienced in their locality. A scale from 1 to 5 is used to mark the severity (S) and the frequency (F) of the different disasters, with 1 as the lowest score and 5 as the highest. Scores for each Risk/Threat type are obtained by multiplying the marks given for severity and frequency (F x S). These scores are then used to rank threat/risks, allowing priorities to be identified and giving focus to DRR and adaptive livelihood generation strategies.
