Facility managers play a critical role in emergency preparedness by conducting systematic risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities associated with earthquakes, floods, and cyclones. Risk assessment is a structured process that involves identifying hazards, analyzing potential impacts, evaluating the likelihood of occurrence, and determining the level of risk to people, property, operations, and the environment. A comprehensive approach ensures that facilities remain resilient and capable of maintaining essential functions during and after disasters. The first step in conducting a risk assessment is hazard identification. Facility managers must gather historical data and scientific information about the geographical location of the facility. This includes reviewing seismic zone maps for earthquake susceptibility, floodplain maps and rainfall records for flood risks, and meteorological data for cyclone-prone regions. Government agencies, disaster management authorities, and meteorological departments provide reliable data that help managers understand the probability and intensity of such hazards. Site-specific characteristics such as proximity to rivers, coastal areas, fault lines, or low-lying terrain must be carefully examined. After identifying potential hazards, vulnerability assessment is conducted to determine how exposed the facility is to these threats. For earthquakes, managers assess the structural integrity of buildings, including the design, construction materials, age, and compliance with seismic building codes. Non-structural elements such as ceilings, partitions, lighting fixtures, heavy equipment, and storage racks are also evaluated because they can cause injuries or damage during tremors. Structural audits by qualified engineers may be necessary to identify weaknesses like soft stories, inadequate reinforcement, or deteriorated
