One of the key steps in the Comprehensive Risk Approach is to:

Mitigating identified risks is a fundamental aspect of the Comprehensive Risk Approach, which focuses on proactively addressing potential hazards to reduce their impact on individuals and the community. This step involves evaluating the risks associated with specific incidents or operational environments, determining their likelihood and potential consequences, and implementing strategies to reduce those risks.

By prioritizing risk mitigation, agencies and organizations can create a safer environment and enhance preparedness for emergencies. This proactive approach allows for the allocation of resources and the development of policies aimed specifically at minimizing vulnerabilities, ultimately leading to improved safety for both responders and the public.

The other choices, while relevant to risk management and improvement of community safety, serve different functions within the broader framework of risk reduction. Reviewing previous incidents may inform risk assessment but does not directly address how those risks will be managed. Gathering additional funding can be crucial for implementing various safety measures, but it is a means to an end rather than a direct approach to risk mitigation itself. Enhancing community partnerships fosters collaboration and support, yet without the clear focus on mitigating risks, such partnerships may not effectively address the core issues at hand.
