Five Reasons to Implement a Risk-Based Allocation Program
- Risk is a valuable, defensible basis for prioritizing actions and expenditures.
- You can’t implement a Critical Infrastructure Protection Program (CIPP) without a risk management program, as recommended by the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). The Homeland Security Grant Programs direct all eligible states and UASIs to implement a Critical Infrastructure/Key Resources (CIKR) program based on the NIPP risk management framework.
- Risk management is essential for achieving the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which requires your target capability levels be based on your jurisdiction’s unique risk profile.
- Analyzing your risk and tying investments to it will make your organization more competitive in HSGP and infrastructure grant programs now and in the future.
- The federal government does not manage state and regional risk. States and UASIs are responsible for managing their own risk.
