3. PPD-8 National Preparedness
Aimed at “strengthening the security and resilience” of the U.S. through “systematic preparation for the threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation”
An evolutionary step from current HSPD-8 methods
Signed March 30, 2011; replaces HSPD-8 and Annex 1
PPD Implementation Plan delivered on May 27, 2011; approved by the President for release on July 8, 2011
A Linking together of the national efforts, organized around key elements
the ends we wish to achieve (the National Preparedness Goal – Completed)
the means to achieve it (the National Preparedness System – Completed)
the delivery; how we use what we build (National Frameworks – Due 6/30/2012; Federal Interagency Operational Plans – Due 9/25/2012)
the reporting of our progress (Annual National Preparedness Report – Due 3/30/2012 and annually thereafter)
the sustained engagement (Build and Sustain Preparedness - Ongoing)

4. PPD-8 Key Principles
Employ an all-of-Nation/whole community approach, integrating efforts across federal, state, local, tribal and territorial governments and with private sector, community, non-governmental, and individual partners
Use a risk-based approach to support preparedness
Build core capabilities to confront any challenge
Integrate efforts across Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery
Assess performance outcomes to measure and track progress

5. The National Preparedness Goal
A secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.
Defined by the capability target measures of the core capabilities within the mission areas of prevent, protect, mitigate, respond, and recover

6. National Preparedness Goal Supporting Components
Core capabilities:
Distinct highly interdependent elements necessary for our success
Capability targets:
Performance threshold(s) for each core capability that will guide our allocation of resources to support national preparedness
Emphasis on whole community:
Whole community includes all members of society, including individuals, communities, the private and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and Federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments
The Goal seeks to enable the whole community to contribute to and benefit from national preparedness
Strategic National Risk Assessment:
In accordance with PPD-8, a Strategic National Risk Assessment was conducted
The SNRA identified a wide range of threats and hazards that pose a significant risk to the nation, affirming the need for an all-hazards, capability-based approach to preparedness planning

Reviewing and Updating

9. Build and Sustain Preparedness
Comprised of four key elements…
A comprehensive campaign to build and sustain national preparedness, to include public outreach and community-based and private-sector programs to enhance national resilience
Federal preparedness
Federal preparedness assistance (i.e., grants and technical assistance)
National research and development efforts
Activities for the effort to Build and Sustain Preparedness will begin shortly

$350 M for Emergency Management Performance Grants

11. FY11 & FY12 Funding Summary
For Internal Use Only

12. FY 2012 – What’s New Alignment to National Preparedness Goal
Program by Mission Area
Core Capabilities supported by program
Program Priorities
Sustainment of core capabilities at state/territory/regional/local/tribal level that can be considered national assets and deployable via intra and inter state mutual aid
Emphasis on sustainment lifecycle (updated plans, refresher training and exercises, equipment maintenance and updates)

13. FY 2012 – What’s New Program Priorities – Cont’d
Mutual Aid agreements and EMAC membership (for states and territories) a requirement
Building out new capabilities only when other core capabilities have been sustained
Risk assessments drive prioritization of new capabilities
FY 2011 performance measures carried into FY 2012
24 month period of performance

14. Secretary’s Draw Down Initiative
$8.3 Billion in unexpended grant funds from FY 2007 to FY 2011
Secretary’s Guidance to SAAs issued on February 13
Info Bulletin #379 issued by FEMA on February 17 implementing Secretary’s Guidance
Expanded allowability to maximum permitted by 9/11 Act
Streamlined waiver process
Stricter period of performance extension criteria

15. FY 2013 – What’s Coming
FY 2013 Budget includes $2.9 billion in grant funding
Consolidates 16 other grants into the new, streamlined National Preparedness Grant Program (NPGP)
Competitive, risk-based model
Funding allocations based on prioritized core capabilities as well as comprehensive threat/risk assessments and gap analyses
Each state and territory will receive a base level of funding allocated in accordance with a population driven formula

16. FY 2013 – What’s Coming
Remainder of grant allocations determined competitively, based on criticality of specific capability according to regional threat/risk assessments and applicant’s ability to complete the project within two year period of performance
NPGP will focus on:
developing and sustaining core capabilities
enhancing terrorism prevention and protection capabilities
critical infrastructure/ key resource protection

17. State Administrative Agency (SAA)
Each State and territory has a governor appointed contact responsible for managing all GPD funds and associated program requirements
The SAA should be the main point of contact as they are the initial recipient of most grant awards
