2020 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment 

In order to prepare and plan for emergencies which might strike the County, it is necessary to understand hazards that potentially could impact it, what their history of activity is in Pierce County, and how vulnerable the citizens of the county are to those hazards. The Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) serves as a basis for the development of plans, public education programs, responder training, and exercises. The Pierce County HIRA is not a detailed study of the hazards and their impacts, but rather it describes those hazards felt to be the greatest potential threat to people, the environment, personal and public property, and the economy.
