National Preparedness Report Understanding Core Capabilities 16 April 2013

Kathleen FoxApril 16, 2013 Assessing National Preparedness FEMA is measuring progress on the implementation of the National Preparedness System and reporting this progress annually.  Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) calls for an annual National Preparedness Report (NPR)  Summarizes the Nation’s progress in building, sustaining, and delivering core capabilities described in the National Preparedness Goal  Provides a comprehensive, national-level evaluation of all 31 capabilities  Identifies national areas of strength and areas for improvement 2

Kathleen FoxApril 16, 2013 State Perspectives on Preparedness States and territories are required to report to FEMA annually on their level of preparedness  Since 2011, states have used the State Preparedness Report (SPR) tool to assess capabilities across all 31 core capabilities in the Goal.  In 2012, States and territories used the THIRA process to set targets for each core capability. The SPR measures their ability to achieve these targets.  The National Preparedness Report includes aggregate SPR data. 3

Kathleen FoxApril 16, 2013 SPR Outputs 4 While threat/hazard and capability targets come from different sources in 2011 and 2012, the capability data outputs are the same.
