Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) is a process used to identify potential dangers and risks that could affect a community or organization. It involves recognizing various threats, such as natural disasters or man-made events, and evaluating their likelihood and potential impact. By assessing these risks, decision-makers can prioritize resources and implement strategies to improve preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. THIRA helps communities understand their vulnerabilities and plan effectively to protect people, property, and critical services.
