Congress and the President have called for various homeland security efforts to be based on risk management--a systematic process for assessing threats and taking appropriate steps to deal with them. GAO examined how three Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components were carrying out this charge: the Coast Guard, which has overall responsibility for security in the nation's ports; the Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP), which awards grants for port security projects; and the Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Directorate (IAIP), which has responsibility for developing ways to assess risks across all types of critical infrastructure. GAO's work focused on identifying the progress each DHS component has made on risk management and the challenges each faces in moving further. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-91/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-91.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-91/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-91.pdf GAO-06-91 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-91 Other Written Product GAO-06-91; Risk Management: Further Refinements Needed to Assess Risks and Prioritize Protective Measures at Ports and Other Critical Infrastructure; Agency missions Critical infrastructure Critical infrastructure protection Homeland security Performance measures Port security Risk assessment Risk management National Infrastructure Protection Plan Title 6 Section 121(d) Title 6 Section 121(d)(2) 6 U.S.C. 121(d) 6 U.S.C. 121(d)(2) Title 46 Section 201(d)(1) Title 46 Section 70103(c) Title 46 Section 70107(c) 46 U.S.C. 201(d)(1) 46 U.S.C. 70103(c) 46 U.S.C. 70107(c) Volume 115 Page 2230 115 Stat. 2230 Volume 118 Page 1298 118 Stat. 1298 Volume 119 Page 2064 119 Stat. 2064 Public Law 107-117 Public Law 108-334 Public Law 109-90
