Appendix G: Job Aids for Step 5

Job Aid 5-1: Conflicts and resolutions tool

Job Aid 5-1 provides information to help you to consider the possible synergy 
between mitigation options across hazards, as well as potential conflicts for 
the particular combination of hazards that you face. It is intended to provoke 
thought and design integration, but does not provide absolute restrictions or 
recommendations. In general, reinforcement between hazards may be gained, and 
undesirable conditions and conflicts can be resolved, by coordinating mitigation 
measures and consulting your community experts. You are encouraged to use the 
list as a basis for discussion relative to specific projects and to structure 
the evaluation of the benefits and conflicts of multi-hazard design depending on 
local hazards.  The vertical columns show the three primary hazards. Columns are 
also included for the blast and fire hazards as these hazards also have 
pertinence for structural mitigation. The horizontal rows show methods of 
protection for the building systems and components that have significant 
interaction, either desirable (reinforcing) or undesirable (conflicting).
