The most valuable tool in determining what hazards present a riskto your facility is a completed and comprehensive Vulnerability Analysis.Assess the vulnerability of your facility and agency within – the probability and potential impactof each possible emergency. Use the Vulnerability Analysis Worksheet Instructions to completethe Vulnerability Analysis Worksheet, which requires assigning probabilities, estimating impactand assessing resources, using a numerical system. The lower the score the better.FacilitiesYou want to take a critical look at the structural and non-structural aspects of your facility todetermine if corrective action can be taken that would reduce the likelihood of an incident orreduce the adverse impact should one occur. The Security Analysis Checklist will give you abetter idea of the strengths and weaknesses of your facility and your security system. Thisanalysis should also be reflected on the Vulnerability Analysis Worksheet and deficienciesaddressed on the Mitigation/Prevention Worksheet, if feasible.MitigationBased upon the Vulnerability Analysis Worksheet, the Mitigation/Prevention Worksheet shouldbe used to identify and organize area of mitigation, time frame and costs related to correctingdeficiencies.35
