Personal/Family Preparedness

Developing a preparedness plan for all hazards is a simple process which begins
with identifying your risk.

family, and your home against Pasco County's hazards.

Obvious hazards that contribute directly to your risk can be  reduced through mitigation.

Some hazards include:

- Airborne wind hazards (patio furniture, children's toys)
- Overgrown trees around power lines

Human vulnerability: The relative lack of
capacity of a person or social group to
anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover
from the impact of a hazard. Individuals who
are low-income or elderly have a higher
human vulnerability.

Physical vulnerability: The extent to which a
structure or service is likely to be damaged or
disrupted by a hazard event. Mobile trailers
and manufactured homes have a greater
vulnerability than those constructed of
brick/stone.
