This document outlines factors to consider when assessing risk mitigation actions, including their impact on reducing risks and vulnerabilities, probability of implementation, and funding requirements. It discusses categories of mitigation options and factors for assessing reduction of deaths, injuries, property damage, and economic loss. Key implementation factors include political and public support, cost, and short- and long-term benefits. Funding may come from local, state, federal sources and private sectors. Planning requires stakeholder involvement to identify, assess, and prioritize options based on ease, objectives, timeliness, and post-disaster needs. Ranking uses methods like multi-voting and numerical scoring.

Risk evaluation determines the seriousness of hazards by analyzing how they affect the local community. Three common methods are using a risk matrix, comparing risks to established criteria, and the SMAUG methodology. A risk matrix classifies risks into categories like high, moderate, and low based on likelihood and consequences. A risk register lists specific risks with details like likelihood, consequences, and priority rating. Risk criteria evaluate impacts on things like life, health, economy and environment. Hazards risk management considers legal requirements, costs, and unacceptable risks. The SMAUG prioritization process rates risks as high or low priority based on factors like growth, urgency, acceptability, manageability, and seriousness.

1) A flood insurance model was developed for Georgia based on detailed flood hazard and risk modelling within an integrated flood risk management framework. 2) The model included flood mapping, calculating risk scores and potential damage/losses, and developing an index-based insurance scheme with risk-based premiums and payout principles. 3) While the insurance scheme was not piloted during the initial project due to various challenges, efforts are ongoing to address flooding and other natural hazards through policy interventions like risk financing and early warning systems.

David Simmons notes that catastrophe insurance has traditionally focused on property loss but its scope is wider, such as disaster response. Existing catastrophe risk models do not account for second- and higher-order effects of critical infrastructure failures. Network analysis can help model how failures may diffuse through interconnected systems. Even with perfect models, risks may remain if key infrastructure components lie outside a country's borders.
