Capital Investment Program for Mitigation of Risks from Natural Hazards - Methodology Report.

Abstract

A general methodology for use in selecting an optimum capital investment program for a military activity or complex. It minimizes the risk of mission impairment and the risk of economic loss from damage to facilities as a result of disaster. It is a balanced program: it achieves where possible and beneficial, an equal level of protection from fire, flood, earthquake, and high wind. If the risk from any hazard is acceptable, it is not further considered. (Author)
