Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Guide Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 201
THIRA is Part of a Larger Effort • The National Preparedness System outlines an organized process for achieving the National Preparedness Goal. • The foundation of the System is identifying and assessing risks. • THIRA is one process that a community can use to identify and assess their risks.
What is a Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)? • CPG 201 is the guidance; THIRA is the output • THIRA does not replace the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) or Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP)
Who Is Required to Complete a THIRA? • All grantees receiving Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) • Typically, this means states, commonwealths and territories • All Urban Areas receiving funding under the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant program
FEMA Regional THIRAs were submitted September 2012 • Urban area, state, territorial, and tribal nation THIRAs were submitted on December 31, 2012 • FEMA Reviewed THIRA Analysis and Provided Feedback to States on: • THIRA outputs • Desired outcomes/Capability Targets • Objective of FEMA Review Analysis: • Inform national preparedness efforts 2012 FEMA THIRA ANALYSIS
Step 1: Threat and Hazard Types • Identify types of threats/hazards: • Natural • Technological • Human-caused
Step 2: Give the Threats and Hazards Context • Focused on hazards and threats of greatest concern • Show how a threat or hazard can affect your jurisdiction • Multiple threats or hazards occurring at the same time • Cascading effects of a threat or hazard
Step 3: Examine the Core Capabilities Using the Threats and Hazards
Step 3: Examine the Core Capabilities Using the Threats and Hazards • 3.a Determine the Desired Outcomes
Step 3: Examine the Core Capabilities Using the Threats and Hazards • 3.b Consider Estimated Impacts • For each threat and hazard, determine the impacts on the community through the lens of the core capabilities • Consider impacts related to the mission areas
Step 4: Set Capability Targets Capability targets are based on the greatest impact combined with the desired outcomes The output of this step is to have a target for each of the Core Capabilities These targets will serve as the basis for the State Preparedness Report capability assessment
Step 5: Apply THIRA Results After the THIRA is completed, apply result to the community’s risk management efforts A jurisdiction may find it simply needs to sustain existing capabilities, or it may identify a resource shortfall or capability gap
THIRA Benefits Strategic planning for prioritizing resources Inform Mitigation planning and projects Use to build planning scenarios Utilize results for exercises and training
Next Steps / On-going Activities Review and update THIRA annually Coordinate THIRA process with stakeholders including whole community Encourage local jurisdictions to conduct their own THIRA (A maybe…down the road)
THIRA: Things to Remember • Required for Grantee (State) Funding Eligibility • Informs, but does not take the place of, our HIRA and other risk analyses • Our plans and programs should be risk-based • We should allocate resources according to our risk (get more bang for our buck)
