 8C. Principle Risk Scenario Analysis

Based on the above information, please identify and analyse the main risk scenarios that affect this community.

Description

Shock
Which shock is the most devastating and, if applicable, how does it lead to other shocks?

Stresses
In what ways is the identified shock(s) exacerbated by the identified stresses?
Risk scenario 1

Impact
What is the extent of impact (damage, loss, etc.) from this risk scenario (i.e. the shocks and stresses identified above)?

Coping Mechanisms
What coping mechanisms (both positive and negative) does the community use to deal with this risk scenario?
