Eugene -Springfield Area Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan <br />4. Risk and Vulnerability <br />or changing environment, exploit beneficial opportunities, and/or survive moderate <br />negative effects. In short, it reflects a sector's ability to adapt to changing <br />circumstances. The adaptive capacity questions were asked in a series of six sections. <br />The score of each section was averaged, and then all six section scores were again <br />averaged to obtain an overall adaptive capacity score. Table 4-3 contains the scoring <br />system used in the adaptive capacity scoring. <br />Table 4-3 <br />Adaptive Capacity Ranking Systems <br />Score <br />Ranking <br />1.00 <br />— 1.99 <br />Very Low <br />2.0 — <br />2.74 <br />Low <br />2.75 <br />— 3.24 <br />Medium <br />3.25 <br />— 3.99 <br />High <br />4.00 <br />— 5.00 <br />Very High <br />Table 4-4 contains the average adaptive capacity scores for each alphabetically listed <br />sector. Nine out of eleven sectors have a rating of medium. The range of the averaged <br />scores was 2.31- 3.21, on a scale of 1.0-5.0. Note, the digit in the hundredth place does <br />not translate to a level of precision it is used to further differentiate the scores, so they <br />may be ranked. <br />Adaptive Capacity Scores <br />c ge ap <br />tion 3.21 Medium <br />ater <br />2.99 <br />Medium <br />r44Average <br />2.94 <br />Medium <br />2.80 <br />Medium <br />2.31 <br />Low <br />tems <br />2.76 <br />Medium <br />th <br />2.75 <br />Medium <br />Public Safety <br />2.52 <br />Low <br />Stormwater <br />3.04 <br />Medium <br />Transportation <br />3.12 <br />Medium <br />Waste Water <br />3.17 <br />Medium <br />Comparison <br />After the adaptive capacity scores were calculated, OPDR looked for ways to compare <br />sectors. The adaptive capacity eventually became a multiplier influencing the overall <br />sector planning score.
