Type Description
Type 1The Type 1 HM Risk Analyst prepares risk analytics and facilitates risk assessment processes for all of a community’s mitigation efforts: Hazard Mitigation planning, post-disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Subgrant project application development, Hazard Mitigation Assistance Subgrant applications, and Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act Section 406 mitigation project applications. Supports loss avoidance studies and explains relevance of hazard risks to building codes and building performance. Translates technical data for both technical and non-technical audiences and produces maps and technical reports on hazard/risk assessments.
Type 2The Type 2 Hazard Mitigation (HM) Risk Analyst provides support to jurisdictions with technical assistance and risk analysis guidance for HM Plan development/update and Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Grants and supports HM Planning Team or HM Operational Team activities by analyzing risk and vulnerability, providing technical assistance for Benefit-Cost Analyses (BCA), and Loss Avoidance studies. Assists stakeholders in defining Geographic Information Systems (GIS) products for risk analysis and produces maps based on hazard/risk assessments.
Type 3The HM Risk Analyst can assist with basic risk analysis technical assistance and guidance for local HM Plan development/update with regard to GIS, and Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Grants. Also, produces GIS maps, as directed, to illustrate hazard risk.
