SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8:
National Preparedness), issued on March 30, 2011, establishes a
National Preparedness Goal (NPG) that identifies the core capabilities
necessary for preparedness and a National Preparedness System (NPS)
which guides activities to enable the Nation to achieve the NPG. The
NPS allows the Nation to track the progress of our ability to build and
improve the capabilities necessary to prevent, protect against,
mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from those threats
that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation.
The NPS provides an integrated approach to preparedness that can be
implemented and measured at all levels of government. This system is an
all-of-Nation and whole community approach to preparedness, from
neighborhood organizations to civic groups and private businesses. It
contains a methodical approach integrated across the preparedness cycle
and links together programs and requirements into a comprehensive
system, driving rational decision-making and allowing for a direct and
defensible assessment of progress against clearly defined objectives.
The NPS is based on a consistent methodology for assessing the
threats and hazards facing a given jurisdiction. The findings of the
assessment drive planning factors and all other components of the
preparedness cycle including resource requirements, existing
capabilities and capability gaps, driving investments to close those
gaps, making and validating improvements in capabilities through
training and exercising, and continually assessing progress.
Section 648(b)(1) of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform
Act of 2006 (6 U.S.C. 748(b)(1)) also provides for these exercises and
states the Administrator ``shall carry out a national exercise program
to test and evaluate the national preparedness goal, National Incident
Management System, National Response, and other related plans and
strategies.'' The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program
(HSEEP) provides the program structure, multi-year planning system,
tools, and guidance necessary for entities to build and sustain
exercise programs that enhance homeland security capabilities, and
ultimately, preparedness. The HSEEP After Action Report Improvement,
Integrated Preparedness Plan, and National Exercise Program Support
Request Forms provide the standardized methods for reporting the
results of exercises, identifying exercise program priorities, and
submitting exercise nominations necessary to validate national
preparedness capabilities.
