The ENDEAVOR Model is supported by the All Hazards Consortium (AHC).

Since 2005, the All Hazards Consortium (AHC) has used its Joint Integrated Planning Framework to bring together state and private sector partners at the regional and national levels to solve complex problems and reduce risk. 

The ENDEAVOR program builds on this same framework but applies it with a state-specific focus. 

While tailored to individual states, ENDEAVOR leverages AHC’s broader network of regional and national partners, along with their experience and resources, to develop practical solutions and partnerships at the state and local levels including:
