  • Hazards with the following characteristics present the highest risk:
    • high magnitude, low frequency events - these are the least 'expected' as, by definition, they are unlikely to have occurred in living memory
    • rapid onset events with low spatial predictability - they could occur in numerous places and without warning
    • regional areal extent - affecting large numbers of people in a wide range of locations
  • Hazard profile
  • Spearmans' rank equation = P=P =1−6∑𝑑2i/𝑛(𝑛2−1) 1 − 6 ∑ 𝑑^2i/ 𝑛 ( 𝑛^2 − 1 )
