Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA)

Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) evaluates the risks and vulnerabilities specific to your facility. We assess potential hazards based on likelihood and impact, helping you prioritize resources and planning efforts.

The result is a clear, actionable roadmap to strengthen preparedness and ensure your staff and patients are protected.

What We Evaluate

• Natural disasters (floods, tornadoes, severe weather)
• Utility failures (power, water, HVAC, communications)
• Cybersecurity and IT system disruptions
• Internal emergencies (fire, violence, hazardous spills)
• Supply chain and resource disruption risks
• Community and regional hazard exposure
• Facility-specific operational vulnerabilities

How the HVA Process Works

1. Facility Review: Assessment of operations and environment
2. Hazard Identification: Internal and external risks identified
3. Risk Scoring: Likelihood and impact scoring
4. Prioritization: Risks ranked for planning focus
5. Actionable Report: Structured HVA with recommendations

Key Benefits

• Clear understanding of facility-specific risks
• Data-driven hazard prioritization
• Improved emergency preparedness planning
• Stronger alignment with regulatory expectations
• Better allocation of preparedness resources

Who This Service Is For
