Review the DHS Risk Management Fundamentals piece to gain appreciation for the role of homeland security risk management when developing homeland

Evaluate what DHS and other jurisdictions must do to not only develop the right risk assessment methodologies, but also make them useful for decision
making and setting the right priorities
