1. April 21, 2017 Workshop Overview
Denise Bulling

2. Agenda Welcome (Workshop Purpose – Process & Outcomes)
Scenario overview (Drought Impacts at three time points)
Intro to capabilities – Example of process/outcomes
Resources available during the day
Facilitated small group work
Groups are based on capabilities
Desired outcomes are set for each scenario and each capability
Exit Survey and next steps

3. Workshop Identifying & Assessing Risk (via scenarios to give context)
Estimated capability requirements (setting desired outcomes)

4. Purpose
Use the Threat & Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Process (THIRA) to set desired outcomes for core capabilities.
What is the THIRA Process?
What are the Core Capabilities?
Why set Desired Outcomes?

5. THIRA Process
Scenarios
Workshop
Next Steps

6. National Preparedness Goal
Capabilities
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.”
The National Preparedness Goal describes 32 activities, called core capabilities, that address the greatest risks to the nation. (18 capabilities will be considered at the workshop)
Taken from:

7. Desired Outcomes SCENARIO IMPACT # Residents
Start with the Impact of an event
Craft quantifiable desired outcomes
Example for Public Information & Warning
SCENARIO IMPACT
DESIRED OUTCOME
CAPABILITY STATEMENT
# Residents
# Residents with access or functional needs
# Residents with limited English proficiency
Deliver credible, actionable information within # (minutes/hours/days) of (event) to all Residents in impacted areas
Deliver credible, actionable information to # Residents, including # with access/functional needs or # with limited English proficiency within # (minutes/hours/days) of (event)
Each of these core capabilities is tied to a capability target. These targets recognize that everyone needs the flexibility to determine how they apply their resources, based on the threats that are most relevant to them and their communities. A Midwestern city, for example, may determine it is at high risk for a catastrophic tornado. As a result, the city could set a target to have a certain number of shelters in place. The same applies across all potential risks, understanding that each risk is different; therefore, each target is different.
