Homeland Security National Risk Characterization: Risk Assessment Methodology

Abstract

In 2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Policy Strategy, Plans, Analysis, and Risk (SPAR), asked the RAND National Defense Research Institute (NDRI) to design and implement a homeland security national risk assessment to help inform DHS strategic planning by identifying and characterizing natural hazards and threats to the nation. This assessment can be used by DHS to assist in identifying the greatest risks to homeland security and to support prioritization of DHS mission elements.
