20 Nov 2008
1. The Navy Medicine FHP EMP identifies minimum MTF assessment standards and methods
in support of the risk management process.
2. Risk management is a continuous process of evaluating evolving threats, vulnerabilities, and
capabilities to maintain the desired level of readiness. This process includes the use of threat
assessments, vulnerability assessments, and EM capability assessments. These assessments
should incorporate information and recommendations from a variety of sources including, but
not limited to, HVA, JSIVA CNO IVA, CIP planning and assessments, and COOP planning.
These assessments will assist in resource allocation and prioritization.
a. Threat Assessments. MTF commanders, in conjunction with regional and installation
commanders, shall utilize existing threat and vulnerability assessment methods to analyze the
threats potentially impacting their commands at least annually.
(1) Focus on the command’s overarching EM and ATFP programs.
(2) Utilize appropriate SMEs for the areas being assessed.
(3) Consider the range of identified and projected response capabilities needed for a
natural or man-made hazard, including a terrorist or criminal act against the installation, its
personnel, facilities, and other critical assets.
(4) Identify responses to threats and vulnerabilities and solutions for enhanced protection
of personnel and resources.
(5) Provide threat and vulnerability-based analysis of the command’s FHP EMP.
(6) Report, prioritize, and track assessments in time to support and coordinate the budget
process at BUMED-M3/5.
(7) Classify assessments in accordance with the appropriate security classification
guidance.
b. Ensure that EM personnel are trained to maximize the use of threat assessments and
intelligence derived from civil and military law enforcement and public safety agencies and
departments as well as EM, meteorological, environmental, and public health processes and
procedures.
c. EM Capability Assessments and Status. The Navy Medicine FHP EMP will utilize a
comprehensive capabilities assessment and status process to determine the status of an MTF’s
required EM capabilities with respect to readiness and preparedness. The process will examine:
