Threat and Risk Assessment: Local Jurisdiction

Threat and Risk Assessment: Local Jurisdiction
Editor: David Mills



This course prepares emergency response managers, community leaders, private sector, non-governmental organizations, and tribal leaders to conduct a comprehensive, capabilities-based threat and risk assessment for terrorism/all-hazards incidents under the National Response Framework (NRF), National Preparedness Guidelines and Homeland Security Presidential Directives. Participant activities focus on the jurisdictional process for determining the ability to respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) and natural disaster events. Participants will identify shortfalls, perform gap analysis, and develop a needs assessment to fill shortfalls/gaps identified within the preparedness cycle. The course delivery combines lecture, small group discussions, participant activities, and multimedia scenarios to improve the multi-disciplinary emergency response teams' capability to prevent, protect, respond to, or recover from all-hazards events. Subject matter experts from the National Emergency Response and Rescue Training Center will conduct the program.
