Our approach
A risk assessment is only useful if it changes decisions. We run a structured process that ranks hazards on likelihood and consequence for your jurisdiction, ties each to the capabilities and resources it requires, and produces findings leadership can act on in plans, budgets, and grant applications.
Assessment services
Standards-based assessments scaled to the organization.
- Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment: THIRA and Stakeholder Preparedness Review processes that meet FEMA requirements and feed the preparedness grant cycle.
- Hazard identification and risk assessment: Jurisdiction-specific HIRAs that rank natural, technological, and human-caused hazards for planning and mitigation.
- Capability and gap assessment: Measurement of current capability against the targets each hazard sets, with gaps prioritized for investment.
- Facility and campus assessments: Site-level assessments for schools, healthcare facilities, and critical infrastructure.
Putting findings to work
An assessment should drive the plan, the budget, and the next exercise.
- Plan alignment: Findings carried directly into emergency operations plans, hazard annexes, and mitigation plans.
- Grant justification: Documentation that supports preparedness and mitigation grant applications with evidence.
- Exercise objectives: Risk findings translated into the objectives and scenarios of your next tabletop or functional exercise.
- Data and analytics: Spatial analysis, risk scoring, and dashboards that show where exposure is concentrated.
Why High Street?
Our assessors have led THIRA and risk assessment efforts for state and local jurisdictions and federal programs, and our analysts bring the spatial analysis and data tools to make the findings concrete. The result is a ranked, defensible picture of risk that leadership can use.
