Consequence Management
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.
