The Threat/Hazard Assessment Module Narrative (THAM) is a technical explanation of the methodology used during the first Toolkit module. The THAM provides users with objective, freely-accessible data sources and step-by-step instructions for rating the likelihood of a variety of threats and hazards, including intentional malicious acts, natural hazards, and unintentional manmade events. As such, the THAM Narrative describes in detail how these data sources are incorporated into the Toolkit.
