Appendix A. County Threats Assessment Sorted by Aggregate Risk

Assessment Criteria

This assessment is based on the four most significant (from the perspective of likelihood of occurrence, impact to the community and requirement for amateur radio resources) disaster threats in Georgia: floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and winter storms. Each threat was assigned a number corresponding to low risk (1), medium risk (2), or high risk (3). The numbers were assigned county-by-county, based on several risk factors for the county with regards to the specific threat: County populations and aggregate risk are highlighted in color according to the following scale:
