Abstract
Victoria’s State Emergency Mitigation Committee has developed a method for initial comparative assessment of emergency-related risks at state level. Adapting existing municipal-level models, a method has been developed and successfully implemented. The main adaptations have been the use of a curve to represent the risk rating, the placement of coloured risk zones on the graph, the recalibration of consequence descriptors to the state-level context, and the use of logarithmic scales.
