Annex B: Vulnerability Assessment
<br />I. Purpose. To analyze the vulnerability of Cabarrus County to natural hazards that could
<br />threaten the county.
<br />II. Situations and Assumptions.
<br />A. Vulnerability to a natural hazard measures the extent to which people are expected to
<br />experience physical harm and the likelihood of property damage. Vulnerability to natural
<br />hazards exists both at the present and in the future. Present levels of development and growth
<br />generate conditions, which expose people and property to some degree of vulnerability to
<br />natural hazards. As an area experiences an increase or decrease in development and growth,
<br />that degree of vulnerability will change.
<br />B. Information on past hazards and natural disasters will be presented as available. Most
<br />historic data will be available on a countywide basis only. When available, information will
<br />be presented for the County as a whole, for the County's planning jurisdiction
<br />C. Inventory of Developed Facilities and Undeveloped Land. Table B -1 shows that total
<br />building value within Cabarrus County accounts for almost $273 million worth of property
<br />improvements. All of these improvements are exposed to possible damage from future
<br />natural hazards although those within floodplains are the most likely to be affected by a
<br />future hazard event.
