Instructions
This assignment is a research paper assignment for which the student is expected to develop a 4-5 page response (not including title page or reference list) that fully responds to the question.
Question: Examine the role of risk management within the homeland security enterprise.
The Department of Homeland Security has stated that it will apply risk management principles to homeland security operations and has stated that "Ultimately, homeland security is about effectively managing risks to the Nation's security" (DHS 2010, 2). Drawing upon your class readings and additional research examine how risk management is used by the homeland security enterprise and how that use benefits such aspects as resource allocation, strategic planning, grant award, or any of the multitudes of other homeland security issues or operations.
Remember to address not only DHS headquarters, but the entire HLS enterprise as we have been discussing in this course (much more than one single federal agency HQ)
The basic equation for risk is defined as R = ƒ(C*V*T) where R is the level of risk, C is the consequences (public health, our economy, government action, public confidence in our institutions) of an attack, V is an assessment of the vulnerability of a potential target (how hard or easy it would be for it to be hit by terrorists) and T is the threat or the likelihood that a specific target will suffer an attack or disaster from a specific weapon.
