Hazard Index for Cabarrus County. Certain parts of the County, such as floodplains and <br />steep river or creek banks, are more prone to hazards. In addition, certain types of hazards are <br />likely to produce only localized effects while others have wide spread effects. Some natural <br />hazards have extraordinary impacts but occur infrequently. Other hazards occur annually or <br />several times a decade, but cause less damage. The total potential impact of each type of hazard <br />can be projected using a combination of likely strength of the event, the size of the area(s) <br />affected, and the density of human activity within the likely path of the hazard. Table A-4 gives <br />each natural hazard a "hazard index" rating based on a combination of three factors - likelihood <br />of occurrence, size of potential area affected, and the potential impact of the event. <br /> <br />Table A-4 Hazard Index for Cabarrus <br /> <br /> Hazard Type Likelihood of Potential Area Potential Hazard Index <br /> Occurrence Affected Impacts (combined <br />Hurricane Likely Large Limited 4 <br />Flood Likely Small Limited 5 <br />Tornado Possible Small Limited 3 <br />Nor'easter Unlikely - - <br />Thunderstorm Highly Likely Medium Negligible 1 <br />Severe Winter Storm Likely Large Limited 2 <br />Wildfire Likely Small Negligible 6 <br />Earthquake Unlikely Large Negligible 8 <br />Landslide Unlikely Small Negligible 7 <br /> <br />;ource: Keeping Natural Hazards from Becoming Natural Disasters, NCDEM, 1998, pp. 10-12. <br /> <br />P.
