Begin by selecting a local jurisdiction (i.e. City of Cleveland, New York City, The Monterey Bay Peninsula, Florida Keys, etc.).
STEP 1: Identify Threats and Hazards of Concern
Start the THIRA process by brainstorming and creating a list of jurisdictional threats and hazards. Hazards fall into three categories: Natural, Technological and Human-caused (use the Hazards Worksheet). Think of all the possible types of incidents that could occur (natural, technological and human-caused) and impact your jurisdiction. For example an E-F5 tornado, a mudslide, a train accident downtown, or a detonated bomb on the subway.
STEP 2: Contextualize Threats and Hazards
Chose one incident from the list and create a context description. This should be detailed and include the conditions (such as time of day and location) most relevant to the community. Use table 9.5 Threat and Hazard Description factors (found in chapter 9 of your text) as well as the 2019 THIRA document to assist in the development of your context descriptions.
STEP 3: Establish Capability Targets
3.1 Estimate Impacts of a Threat of Hazard: Using the context descriptions developed in Step 2, choose five (5) core capabilities, one from each of the five mission areas (prevent, protect, mitigation, response, and recovery) that would pertain to managing the threat or hazard (see Table 9.1 in your text and refer to the 2019 THIRA document). Next, estimate the impacts of the threat or hazard on the chosen capabilities.
3.2 Develop Desired Outcomes and Capability Target Statements: Using all of the information created in the previous activities, develop one desired outcome for each of the five core capabilities identified in the Estimate Impacts of a Threat of Hazard activity (above). Use the estimated impacts and the desired outcomes to develop one capability target statement for each of the core capabilities.
