National Preparedness

The 9/11 attacks underscored the need for all levels of government and all response disciplines to work together

To assure effective response and recovery To help prevent future attacks

Major events will continue to require a national response All entities must have core capabilities in place All entities must be able to communicate and coordinate resources

effectively

The President issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8: National Preparedness (HSPD-8) to ensure a unified national approach to developing needed capabilities


HSPD-8 Overview

Requiring a National Preparedness Goal that establishes measurable priorities and targets

Establishing mechanisms to improve delivery of Federal preparedness assistance to State, local, and tribal governments

Outlining actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities of Federal, State, local, and tribal governments

HSPD-8 establishes policies to strengthen the preparedness of the United States to prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies by:

HSPD-8 ApproachScenarios

The National Planning Scenarios illustrate the range of major events that pose the greatest risk to the Nation.

• 15 Scenarios

• Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive, Agricultural and Cyber Terrorism

• Natural Disasters

• Pandemic Influenza

Tasks

The Universal Task List (UTL) provides a comprehensive menu of tasks from all sources that may be performed in major events illustrated by the National Planning Scenarios.

• Entities select only the tasks that apply to their assigned roles and responsibilities

• Prevention

• Protection

• Response

• Recovery

Capabilities

The Target Capabilities List (TCL) provides guidance on specific capabilities and levels of capability that Federal, State, local, and tribal entities will be expected to develop and maintain.

• 37 Capability Summaries

• Description, Outcome, ESF/Annex, Associated Critical Tasks, Measures, Capability Elements, Linked Capabilities, Event Conditions, References

• Tailored to levels of government based on assigned roles and responsibilities

• Tailored to Tiers or groups of jurisdictions based on risk factors


HSPD-8 Approach Capabilities-Based Planning helps answer two critical questions:

“How prepared do we need to be?” and “How prepared are we?”

Capabilities-Based Planning focuses on developing capabilities that can be applied anytime, anywhere, nationwide

Capabilities-Based Planning IS:

All-hazards planning

A way to develop a common language to describe essential tasks, capabilities, and responsibilities

A way to ensure that we can manage incidents that exceed the capacity of any single jurisdiction

Capabilities-Based Planning IS NOT:

Solely scenario-based planning Scenarios are only tools to define the

range of tasks and capabilities needed

Prescriptive resource requirements Individual entities determine how to

achieve desired outcomes

A funding formula The capabilities for preparedness are

defined regardless of funding source


Update: National Preparedness Goal A draft Goal was sent out for national review in August 2004

The Goal was signed by Secretary of Homeland Security on September 14, 2004

Work has continued with the Homeland Security Council to further revise the Goal; the addition of national priorities is the most significant change

The draft National Preparedness Goal was sent out for a second national review on February 14, 2005

An interim Goal will be released on March 31, 2005


Update: National Preparedness GoalThe proposed interim National Preparedness Goal statement:

“To achieve and sustain risk-based target levels of capabilities that enable the Nation to successfully prevent terrorist attacks on the homeland, and rapidly and effectively respond to and recover from any terrorist attack, major disaster, or other emergency that does occur to minimize the impact on lives, property, and the economy.”


Update: National Preparedness Goal

Overarching Priorities

Expand Regional Collaboration

Implement the National Incident Management System and the National Response Plan

Implement the National Infrastructure Protection Plan

Capability-Specific Priorities

Strengthen Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) Detection Capabilities

Strengthen Interoperable Communications Capabilities

Strengthen Medical Surge Capabilities

In order to help Federal, State, local, and tribal entities achieve the National Preparedness Goal, Federal resources will be allocated to support the following proposed national priorities:


Update: HSPD-8 Stakeholder Engagement

Over 1,500 national organizations invited to comment on the National Preparedness Goal

DHS has partnered with a State, Local, and Tribal Working Group with experience in developing NIMS and the NRP

DHS has held large stakeholder conferences with national representation in support of Universal Task List and Target Capabilities List development

DHS seeks close cooperation and consultation with national stakeholders in ongoing HSPD-8 implementation efforts, including UTCL and TCL revisions

DHS has engaged a broad stakeholder audience in HSPD-8 implementation:
