Are threats that may affect your installation only man-made events?

The assertion that threats affecting your installation are only man-made events is false. Threats can arise from a variety of sources, including natural events such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and wildfires, as well as man-made events like terrorist attacks or industrial accidents.

Understanding the full range of potential threats is vital for effective emergency management. This encompasses both natural hazards that can disrupt operations and man-made events that pose risks to personnel, facilities, and resources. Thus, emergency management practices must prepare for both categories of threats to ensure comprehensive readiness and response strategies.
