THIRA is described as a four-step common risk assessment process intended to help which audience understand risks and estimate capability requirements?

• A. THIRA
• B. NIMS Risk Analysis
• C. HIRA
• D. All-Hazards Risk Assessment Framework

Answer: (A)

The four-step THIRA is designed to help jurisdictions—local, state, tribal, and territorial governments—understand risks and determine the capability requirements needed to address those risks. It guides you through identifying threats and hazards, estimating risk (likelihood and impact), identifying the capabilities required to respond and recover, and then applying those results to pinpoint gaps and resource needs. This focus on a common process for communities to assess risk and plan for required capabilities is what makes THIRA the best fit for describing the audience and purpose in the question.
