DHS Publishes the 2nd Edition of the Risk Lexicon

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) improves its ability to make risk-informed decisions by conducting systematic and structured assessments of homeland security risk. This ongoing effort includes the development of processes and tools to gather, integrate, analyze, and communicate information about risk. These tools, like the DHS Risk Lexicon aid the Homeland Security Enterprise in strategically prioritizing efforts and resources.

Clear and unambiguous communication among homeland security risk practitioners, decisionmakers, and stakeholders is necessary to achieve integrated risk management. The DHS Risk Lexicon supports integrated risk management by defining a single language for risk management and analysis. The DHS Risk Lexicon makes available an official set of harmonized risk-related terms and definitions.
