All-Hazards 1
All-Hazards 1 : (1) A descriptor that denotes a specific strategy for managing activities in an emergency management program in a way that most processes and procedures are applicable to any type of hazard. Throughout the four phases of EM, management structure, processes and procedures are developed so they are applicable in this manner. The remaining hazard specific interventions are layered on top of the basic components as indicated and presented through "incident" annexes in the emergency operations plan (EOP). For example, the procedures for notifying appropriate personnel during EOP activation would use the same process across all hazard types, even though the types of personnel notified and mobilized may vary by hazard. (2) Describing an incident, natural or manmade, that warrants action to protect life, property, environment, and public health or safety, and to minimize disruptions of government, social, or economic activities. (NIMS 12/08). (3) A grouping classification encompassing all conditions, environmental or manmade, that have the potential to cause injury, illness, or death; damage to or loss of equipment, infrastructure services, or property; or alternatively causing functional degradation to social, economic, or environmental aspects.
