Identify people and community assets, hazards and stressors
Determine the community groups, places, natural resources, infrastructure, and services the community agrees are important to protect and document the conditions that could threaten them.
Document potential impacts through an exposure matrix
Review your conceptual model to determine if a hazard has the potential to impact a community asset.
Inventory spatial, quantitative, and qualitative data
Practitioners can begin building an inventory of local, state, and federally available spatial datasets once community assets and hazards are identified.
Meet with the planning team to review Step 1 results
This meeting should include the full planning team, the community champion(s), and community members should be invited to attend to provide an overview of the hazards and community assets identified (including asset themes), and data collection progress.
