Risk Assessment Process Risk from natural hazards is a combination of hazard and vulnerability. The risk assessment process measures the potential loss to a community, including loss of life, personal injury, property damage and economic injury resulting from a hazard event. The risk assessment process allows a community to better understand their potential risk and associated vulnerability to natural, intentional human-caused and unintentional human-caused hazards. This information provides the framework for a community to develop and prioritize mitigation strategies and plans to help reduce both the risk and vulnerability from future hazard events. This section describes the hazards that may impact Hennepin County and assesses their associated risk. Hazards that may affect Hennepin County are identified and defined in terms of their range of magnitude, spectrum of consequences, potential for cascading effects, geographic scope of hazard, historical occurrences and likelihood of future occurrences. The following hazard assessment information should be considered as new information and not an update from the 2010 plan. The Planning Team reviewed hazards from the previous plan and have identified hazards that need to be added. Several hazards from the 2010 plan were eliminated, TABLE 1.1A lists those removed with justification: TABLE 1.1A 2010 Eliminated Hazard Justification for Elimination Dams Although several dams exist across Hennepin County, none pose a significant threat to populations or property. Earthquakes This assessment will be a part of the future natural hazard build out. Hazardous Materials This assessment will be a part of the future plan un-intentional human-caused hazard build out. Radiological This assessment will be a part of the future plan un-intentional human-caused hazard build out. Terrorism This assessment will be a part of the future plan intentional human- caused hazard build out. Transportation This assessment will be a part of the future plan un-intentional human-caused hazard build out. In addition, a thorough geospatial risk analysis was conducted using locally available parcel data and building values. Further, maps were provided where hazard boundaries and data existed. These improvements help to provide a more accurate assessment of risk in the county to develop mitigation actions. 1.2. FEMA Risk Assessment Tool Limitations In 1997, FEMA developed the standardized Hazards U.S., or HAZUS model to estimate losses caused by earthquakes and identify areas that face the highest risk and potential for loss. HAZUS was later expanded 5 2018 Hennepin County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Volume 2- Hazard Inventory into a multi-hazard methodology, HAZUS-MH, with new models for estimating potential losses from wind (hurricanes) and flood (riverine and coastal) hazards. HAZUS-MH is a Geographic Information System (GIS) based software program used to support risk assessments, mitigation planning, and emergency planning and response. It provides a wide range of inventory data, such as demographics, building stock, critical facility, transportation and utility lifeline, and

  • The Controversy Over Alonzo Hauser's Promise of Youth Sculpture
    142 MINNESOTA HISTORY The Controversy Over Alonzo Hauser’s Promise of Youth Sculpture Martin Zanger Situated on the axis between the Beaux-Arts–styled Minnesota State Capitol and the sleek, modern Veterans Service Building on the State Capitol Mall is a statue by sculptor Alonzo Hauser entitled Promise of Youth. Whether or not passersby find the female figure positioned inside a lotus blossom attractive, they are likely unaware of the bitter controversy surrounding the birth of this work of art. Examining the drawn- out dispute reveals broader issues that often arise when governmental bodies make aesthetic decisions about public art. MARTIN ZANGER is emeritus professor of history, University of Wisconsin– La Crosse. A former chair of the Wisconsin Humanities Council, he has received fellowships from the D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies, Chicago’s Newberry Library, the US State Department’s Fulbright program (Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand), and the National Alonzo Hauser in his Eagan studio.
