Secure Passage for THIRA/SPR
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires Homeland Security Grant Program recipients to annually conduct a Threat and Hazard Identification and (THIRA) Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR). This evaluation assesses a jurisdiction's readiness for terrorism threats, natural disasters, and technological incidents. Secure Passage offers specialized THIRA/SPR support to meet these FEMA requirements for its client jurisdictions.
In alignment with annual FEMA requirements, Secure Passage offers comprehensive THIRA/SPR support to client jurisdictions, including integration of urban area and state THIRA/SPR processes, development of measures and metrics to assess against THIRA targets, facilitation of workshops, roll-up and aggregation of THIRA/SPR results, and more. In all cases, we develop a rigorous process to capture and analyze data and engage stakeholders in a meaningful and highly useful assessment process.
