Consequence Management
Homeland Security
Consequence Management is predominantly an emergency management function and includes measures to protect public health and safety, restore essential government services, and provide emergency relief to governments, businesses, and individuals affected by an act of terrorism. In an actual or potential terrorist incident, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the federal lead for consequence management, following the Federal Response Plan. EPA's Criminal Enforcement program is integrated closely with and is dependent upon the Agency's Presidental Decision Directive-39 consequence management expertise and resources, which includes numerous EPA functions, such as Solid Waste and Emergency Response, Emergency and Remedial Response and Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office, Air and Radiation, Water and Radiation and Indoor Air. All of these functions operate under the coordinated consequence management lead of the FEMA.
