Table 3.

Target ranges for structures, pedestrians, and vehicles. Vehicular, pedestrian, and structural targets are categorized by their frequency or monetary value. For example, the probability of a vehicle or pedestrian occupying a target area in target range 4 is between the lower and upper limits of 1/10,000 and 1/500. Using the value of a “hypothetical life” of £1,000,000 the structure value within the target range 4 is £101–2,000.

  • * Structure values represent the likely cost of repair or replacement. Very high = £50,001–1,000,000; high = £10,001–50,000; moderate–high = £2,001–10,000; moderate = £101–2000; low = £11–100: very low = ≤£10.
