This comparison chart shows the similarities and differences among the primary hazard vulnerability assessment (HVA) tools used by public health and healthcare organizations, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Threat and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (THIRA). Each description includes a summary of its primary use/purpose, as well as information on who developed the tool and how, the format of the tool, the calculations approach, and the benefits and limitations of the tool.
