It Begins with an Assessment

• Our nation faces threats & hazards, including acts of terrorism,

cyber attacks, pandemics, and catastrophic natural disasters

• Through events like 9/11, Katrina & Columbine our approach to

emergency management & preparedness have changed

• Communities now must assess, plan, build, sustain, and deliver

core capabilities through the National Preparedness System (NPS)

• The Threat and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and

Stakeholder Preparedness Review (THIRA/SPR) is the 1st step

• Assesses 32 core capabilities across 5 mission areas: Prevention,

Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery

Helps communities answer the questions

How can you help?
