ENHANCED THREAT AND RISK ASSESSMENT
Local Jurisdiction • MGT-315
This course, funded by the National Training and Education Division (NTED) within DHS/FEMA’s National
Preparedness Directorate, enhances the basic Threat and Risk Assessment course (MGT-310) by teaching
participants how to apply all phases of the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process
to specific critical infrastructure facilities. Through lectures, discussions and classroom activities, participants learn
methods to identify and prioritize risks from all hazards, assess vulnerabilities, estimate consequences, and use
equipment, training and exercises to mitigate risk. Multidisciplinary participant teams visit and assess facilities
selected by the host jurisdiction, determining risks, vulnerabilities, consequences and mitigation options specific
to their assigned site. Teams then document their findings, develop an action plan, analyze risk, and present their
results to the class.
