Human-caused hazards arise from deliberate, intentional human actions to threaten or harm the well-being of others. It is important for planners to account for the adaptive risk characteristics of human-caused hazards because perpetrators can take steps to identify and circumvent prevention, protection, and mitigation efforts. Because these hazards can change, the planning team must include an ongoing process to evaluate and revise the plan for human-caused hazards. Examples include:

• Bullying and cyberbullying.
• Harassment, including sexting.
• School violence.
• Terrorist act.
• Sabotage.
• Sex offenders.
• Civil disturbance.
• Illegal drugs, including the production, sale, and use of illegal drugs.
