The Problem

CRAs have always been slow, expensive, and opaque. Traditional consulting engagements run $30,000–$150,000 over 4–8 months. GIS dashboard platforms show data but do not produce the actual CRA document a governing body, accreditation reviewer, or grant program expects. Departments have been forced to trade budget against deliverable.

What PRISM CRA Produces

A defensible, peer-benchmarked NFPA 1300 / 1750-compliant Community Risk Assessment document — the actual deliverable, not a dashboard. Includes the five-year CRA refresh under NFPA 1750 §10.3.2.

  • Executive summary
  • Jurisdiction and demographic profile
  • Multi-hazard analysis (FEMA National Risk Index)
  • Target hazard inventory
  • Six-tier risk scoring (Tier 1 Minimal through Tier 6 Critical), with workload-adjusted modifiers from CAD data
  • Community Risk Reduction (CRR) plan skeleton

Data Sources

  • U.S. Census Bureau — American Community Survey (ACS)
  • CDC Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)
  • FEMA National Risk Index (NRI)
  • Department CAD / RMS / NFIRS records

Every score traces back to its source row.
