Homeland Security Enterprise Integration


Integrating Risk Management into the Homeland Security EnterpriseBackground • Franklin County Emergency Management & Homeland

Security (FCEM&HS) takes a risk-based approach to the Homeland Security Enterprise business model.

• Integrated Risk Management is a process to fuse, unify, and inform the Homeland Security Enterprise. The Homeland Security Enterprise (HSE) is the “whole community,” involving partnerships among emergency management, law enforcement, public health, local/state/federal government, private sector, nongovernmental organizations, faith-based & community-based organizations, and the public.

Homeland Security Enterprise• Homeland Security Enterprise (HSE) is a

“whole community” approach.• Utilizes partnerships among emergency

management, law enforcement, public health, local/state/federal government, private sector, nongovernmental organizations, faith-based & community-based organizations, and the public.

• Federal guidance focus is on all-hazards preparedness; local HSE partners must share info regardless of threat or hazard, man-made or natural.

• Foundation of IRM is understanding the Risk Capabilities Gaps Decision-Making process .

IRM in Review• We are all part of the Homeland Security Enterprise.• Risks Capabilities Gaps HSE Decision Making = IRM.• Successful implementation of both IRM and NPS in Franklin

County rests on participation of Franklin County decision makers.

• End-state: an informed body of leaders in Franklin County who understand our risks, capabilities and gaps and use that knowledge as part of the HSE to shape policy and funding.

• Franklin County will also produce a Guide that can be disseminated by OEMA and FEMA to help local governments implement Integrated Risk Management at the local level.
