City Of Seattle Strategic Plan 2026-2031
The City of Seattle's Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Analysis (SHIVA) serves as the foundational document for the city's emergency management program. It comprehensively assesses 19 primary hazards, including earthquakes, extreme heat, flooding, and wildfires, and provides context through chapters on climate change, community profiles, exposure analysis, and hazard scenarios. The analysis aims to guide the development of policies, plans, and programs to reduce risk, enhance community resilience, and inform strategic investments to mitigate disaster impacts for the community over the next five years.
