The THIRA identifies the top threats and hazards to be addressed in the coming year and allocates recommendations and funding associated with the findings. In addition, the County performs formal hazard assessments through the update of the Clark County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. 2.1.4 Capability Assessment The availability of the County’s physical and staff resources may limit its capability to conduct short- and long-term response actions on an independent basis (see Figure 2-1). County response capabilities are also limited during periods when essential staff are on vacation, sick, or under furlough due to budgetary constraints. 2-3
