The all-hazards approach focuses on developing the generic capabilities that are critical to prepare for and respond to a full spectrum of emergencies and disasters: natural (e.g., hurricane), technological (e.g., oil spill), and intentional (e.g., terrorist bombing). This approach takes into consideration the population's vulnerability to specific hazards but does not specifically address every possible threat. Rather, an all-hazards approach seeks to ensure the community has the capacity to address a broad range of emergencies through maintaining certain core functions that will be needed in most disasters. These core functions include communication, evacuation, and shelter. Emergency plans need to be sufficiently flexible and scalable to adapt to not only the anticipated risks, but also to the unexpected (Canton, 2013).
