Specific sections of the hazard assessment are tied to each of these <br />variables, giving a well-rounded and thorough examination of each hazard and its relation to Ramsey <br />County and its communities. <br />3.3.1 THREAT <br />Hazards were first assessed for the threat they pose to the county and communities. Elements of threat <br />were assessed in the following sections in each hazard chapter: <br />• Hazard Profile <br />• Location <br />• Extent <br />• History <br />• Probability <br />• Climate Change Impacts <br />3.3.2 VULNERABILITY <br />Ramsey County and its communities were also assessed for vulnerabilities to each disaster. The <br />following vulnerabilities were assessed in each hazard chapter: <br />• Vulnerability of People <br />• Vulnerability of Property <br />• Vulnerability of the Environment <br />• Vulnerability of County and Community Operations <br />3.3.3 CONSEQUENCE <br />Finally, hazards were assessed for the consequences Ramsey County and its communities could <br />reasonably expect from an instance of the hazard. While a full scenario wasn’t used for each hazard, <br />general impacts were reasonable extrapolated for each hazard. <br />• Impact on the Public <br />• Impact on Responders
