are addressed in greater detail. This section includes an inventory of assets and estimates<br />

losses from <strong>the</strong> identified hazards.<br />

3.1 Hazard Identification<br />

Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i): [The risk assessment shall include a] description of <strong>the</strong><br />

type…of all natural hazards that can affect <strong>the</strong> jurisdiction.<br />

The Planning Committee <strong>review</strong>ed data and discussed each of <strong>the</strong> 22 natural, man-made, and<br />

technological hazards identified in <strong>the</strong> State of Kansas Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP). It was<br />

noted that while fog was removed from <strong>the</strong> SHMP, civil disorder was added as its own entity.<br />

The Region L Planning Committee supports <strong>the</strong>se changes, agrees that all 22 hazards currently<br />

identified in <strong>the</strong> SHMP could affect <strong>the</strong> region and has modified its list of hazard profiles to<br />

match <strong>the</strong> State plan. The Planning Committee also noted that in previous plans, counties<br />

within Region L addressed slightly different lists of hazards; <strong>the</strong>se variations are identified in<br />

summaries for individual counties at <strong>the</strong> end of each hazard section.<br />

Profiled hazards, listed alphabetically, are:<br />

Agricultural Infestation Hailstorm Soil Erosion and Dust<br />

Civil Disorder Hazardous Materials Terrorism/Agro-Terrorism<br />

Dam and Levee Failure Land Subsidence Tornado<br />

Drought Landslide Utility/Infrastructure Failure<br />

Earthquake Lightning Wildfire<br />

Expansive Soils Major Disease Outbreak Windstorm<br />

Extreme Temperatures Radiological Winter Storm<br />

Flood<br />

The following natural hazards identified by FEMA are not included in this analysis because <strong>the</strong>y<br />

do not threaten Kansas: avalanche, coastal erosion, coastal storm, hurricane, tsunami and<br />

volcano.<br />
