The main hazard facing the United States of America is physical and terrorist attacks. These are where terrorists use weapons a crude as trucks to carry out their attacks especially those who have served their allotted time in prison when they are released they are a more significant challenge to our security (Bosher, 2008). Bible verse that can be used when people are faced with hazards is in the book of Psalms 46: 1-2 which says God is our refuge and strength, he is ever-present helper in times of trouble .hence we shall not fear even if the earth gives away and into the heart of the sea the mountains fall (Craigie, & Tate, 2018). This bible verse is encouragement in times of danger, and the victims are asked not to fear because it is always present to help in time of any trouble.

The fourth best practice is the identification and understanding of the four phases of comprehensive emergency management, which include mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Lastly, disaster should be prepared in wholesome since there are different categories which are a threat to homeland security, which include natural, technological, and social disaster.
