Annex B: Vulnerability Assessment <br /> <br />I. Purpose. To analyze the vulnerability of Cabarrus County to natural hazards that could <br />threaten the county. <br /> <br />II. Situations and Assumptions. <br /> <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 hazards <br />exists both at the present and in the future. Present levels of development and growth generate <br />conditions, which expose people and property to some degree of vulnerability to natural hazards. <br />As an area experiences an increase or decrease in development and growth, that degree of <br />vulnerability will change. <br /> <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 be <br />presented for the County as a whole, for the County's planning jurisdiction <br /> <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 natural <br />hazards although those within floodplains are the most likely to be affected by a future hazard <br />event. <br /> <br />Table B-l: Value of Developed Facilities and Undeveloped Land in of Cabarrus County <br /> <br />Developed Facilities and g'of Acres Building Land Total Tax <br />Land Units Value Value Value <br /> (in 000s) (in 000s) (in 000s) <br />Residential Single Family 2,491 7,233 $161,903 $46,958 $214,188 <br />Multi-Family 3,254 n/a n/a n/a n/a <br />Residential Subtotal 5,745 7,233 $161,903 $46,958 $214,188 <br />Exempt 26 119 $38,699 $1,832 $40,982 <br />Commercial 105 457 $25,403 $9,158 $36,176 <br />Industrial 20 302 $31,064 $5,280 $38,309 <br />Agricultural 61 112 $9,472 1,459 11,139 <br />Other (Leased-developed) 8 16 $6,382 $348 $6,601 <br />Total Developed 5,965 8,239 $272,923 $65,035 $347,395 <br />Facilities/Land <br />Undeveloped Acreage 0 5,116 $0 $23,450 $24,331 <br />Total Undeveloped Land 0 5,116 $0 $23,450 $24,331 <br />Total 5,965 13,355 $272,923 $88,485 $371,726 <br /> <br /> Source: Cabarrus County Tax Assessor. <br />Notes <br />1.
