Everyone is familiar with the organization the Red cross, and how many different families and lives they truly have impacted. Many people donate their time and money to help people in need.

A threat assessment considers the full spectrum of threats (i.e., natural, criminal, terrorist, accidental, etc.) for a given facility/location. The ISC standard only addresses man-made threats, but individual agencies are free to expand upon the threats they consider. The assessment should examine supporting information to evaluate the relative likelihood of occurrence for each threat ("Threat/vulnerability Assessments And Risk Analysis",
