Crisis Management

Homeland Security

Crisis Management is predominantly a law enforcement function and includes measures to identify, acquire and plan the use of resources needed to anticipate, prevent and /or resolve a threat or act of terrorism. A crisis management response may include traditional law enforcement functions such as intelligence, surveillance, tactical operations, negotiations, forensics and investigations. Assurance of public health and safety, the primary mission of EPA, is also included in the crisis management. A federal crisis management response may be supported by consequence management activities, which should operate concurrently. EPA's Criminal Enforcement Program delivers law enforcement crisis management support to the FBI through the deployment of Counter Terrorism Response Teams (CTRT) and National Counter Terrorism Evidence Response Teams (NCERT).
