An Introduction to All-Hazards Preparedness for Transit Agencies

This resource document is part of the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA’s) technical assistant to transit agencies. All-hazards preparedness for transit agencies is a risk prioritization and management process to effectively allocate resources to continually reduce safety, security, and emergency management risks and to prevent, protect, control, and mitigate incidents and adverse events. This document provides transit agencies with an explanation, a high-level process, and illustrative examples for applying an all-hazards preparedness process that is consistent with the national guidance on all-hazards preparedness presented in the "National Preparedness Guidelines."
