Traq Module 3- Target assessment
T or F Mobile targets always have a frequent occupancy rate in the target zone. -
answer False
T or F Occupancy rates of targets might fluctuate with the seasons - answer True
T or F The target zone for a whole-tree failure on level ground is approximately equal to
the height of the tree, but if the tree is dead and/or brittle, the target zone should be
expanded to 1.5 times the tree height. - answer True
1. The likelihood of impact is___________ ____________ if the chance of the failed
tree or tree part impacting the specified target is remote. - answer very low
2. The _________________ _______ _________________ is high if the failed tree or
tree part is likely to impact the target. - answerlikelihood of impact
3. The consequences of failure are __________ if there will be no personal injury, low
value property damage, or disruptions that can be replaced or repaired. -
answernegligible
4. Targets can be ______________ or ___________ based on importance or value,
which can be useful for municipalities managing large tree populations. -
answerstratified or prioritized
6. Branches low on the trunk can slow or stop the fall of branches from higher in the
crown andd serve as ____________ ____________ to targets below. -
answerprotection factors
5. On a public estate property, it might be practical to ___________ access to the target
zone, in order to reduce the occupancy rate of people. - answerrestrict
Protection factors - answerStructures, trees, branches, or other factors that could
prevent or reduce harm to targets in the event of a tree or tree part failure.
Consequences of failure - answerPersonal injury, property damage, or disruption of
activities due to the failure of a tree or tree parts.
Mobile Target - answerA target that is in motion or intermittently moving.
Movable target - answertarget that can be relocated
Static target - answerA target that cannot be easily relocated, such as a house.
