The Health Resources and Services Administration Has Controls and Strategies To Mitigate Hurricane Preparedness and Response Risk

Our objectives were to identify the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA's) potential risks for preparing for and responding to hurricanes and other natural disasters and to determine whether HRSA has designed and implemented controls and strategies to mitigate these potential risks.

Within the 4 risk areas related to HRSA's hurricane preparedness and response activities, we identified 13 sub-risk areas and rated 12 as low risk and 1 as moderate risk. Even though we rated one sub-risk area as moderate, HRSA had developed various strategies and controls that are designed to mitigate the risks we identified for preparing for and responding to hurricanes and other natural disasters.
