Vulnerability analysis is the assessment of the vulnerability of operations and hazards (including hazardous materials) to deliberate attack. Vulnerability analysis is an important complement to risk analysis and hazards analysis.

AlphaTRAC includes vulnerability analysis as a component of its integrated hazards assessment solution. AlphaTRAC’s vulnerability analysis process identifies those operations and hazards that must receive priority attention during emergency planning, as well as the specific event scenarios of greatest concern.

This information is then employed in hazards assessments, consequence analyses, and the planning and preparedness activities that result.
