Step 1: Identification of Threats and Hazards of Concern<\/p>\n
Technological Hazard\/Threat Natural Hazards\/Threats Man-made Threat\/Hazard<\/p>\n
Accidental explosion <\/p>\n
Fire outbreak<\/p>\n
Spillage of chemicals Flood<\/p>\n
Earthquake<\/p>\n
Tornado<\/p>\n
Strong winds Terrorist Attack <\/p>\n
Work place violence<\/p>\n
Step 2: Giving the Threats and Hazards Context<\/p>\n
Accidental explosion There are high chances that an explosion could occur since the refinery handles explosive and combustible fuels<\/p>\n
Fire outbreak Fire outbreaks could emanate from many parts of the factory due to many causes including earthquake, explosions and power faults. Unfortunately, a fire outbreak in a fuel refinery tends to be catastrophic and may end up destroying the whole property (Lin, Wu & Tsai, 2015).<\/p>\n
Floods Following the geographical location of the factory, instances of floods could occur when Mississippi River breaks its banks. Moreover, Memphis\u2019 extreme weather conditions could attract heavy downpours at any time<\/p>\n
Earthquake Since the New Madrid seismic zone, a seismically active zone, covers Memphis, instances of moderate earthquakes could hit ACME AMAZIUM refinery any time in future (USA.COM, 2020).<\/p>\n
Tornado The refinery has high chances of facing a tornado because Memphis is situated in a place where tornado is highly-prevalent<\/p>\n
Step 3: Capability Targets and Required Resources<\/p>\n
Hazard\/threat Capability Targets Required Resources<\/p>\n
Earthquake Immediate response within 2 hours and 100% rescue of survivors within 3 hours, and 100 % recovery of deceased persons\u2019 remains within 12 hours Sufficient first aid kits, communication devices<\/p>\n
Tornado Immediate response within 1 hour, 100% rescue of survivors within 2 hours and 100% recovery of deceased persons\u2019 mains within 12 hours Sufficient first aid kits, communication devices<\/p>\n
Fire outbreak Immediate response and the fire is 100% extinguished within 1 hour Adequate fire extinguishers and equipment, communication devices<\/p>\n
Accidental explosion Quick response within 1 hour and reduction of damages by over 50% Adequate fire extinguishers and equipment, communication devices<\/p>\n
Floods Speedy response within 1 hour, 100% rescue of survivors within 1 hour and at least 70% recovery of affected property within 24 hours Sufficient first aid kits, communication devices<\/p>\n
