Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

At Guardian Emergency Preparedness, LLC, we understand the importance of identifying and mitigating the various hazards and risks present in your community. Whether they are natural, technological, or man-made, our Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process provides a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing these dangers.

THIRA is a federally mandated process outlined in Presidential Policy Directive 8: National Preparedness. It is required for grantees who receive Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) awards. Through THIRA, likely hazards are identified, analyzed, and prioritized, enabling jurisdictions to better comprehend the probability, vulnerability, and impacts of potential threats.

Our team of professionals specializes in hazard assessment assignments, combining THIRA with a response-based gap assessment and incorporating both into a Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR). The SPR provides a detailed overview of an organization’s competencies within the 32 Core Capabilities from the National Preparedness Goal. It serves as a collaborative tool for identifying and addressing gaps while maintaining capability levels.

At Guardian Emergency Preparedness, LLC, we offer customized tools and expert facilitation throughout the THIRA and SPR process. Our experience includes supporting the nation’s largest jurisdictions as they engage in the annual THIRA process. We are well-equipped to guide you through the assessment, analysis, and prioritization of hazards and risks, helping you develop strategies and plans to enhance community safety and resilience.
