  1. Presidential Policy Directive-8 (PPD-8), the National Preparedness System, and Community Preparedness

  2. What is PPD-8? • Presidential Policy Directive 8 orders federal agencies to work inclusively to improve national preparedness. • Individuals and families • Businesses • Faith-based and community organizations • Nonprofit groups • Schools and academia • All levels of government • It is aimed at “strengthening the security and resilience” of the • United States through “systematic preparation for the threats • that pose the greatest risk to the security of the nation.”

  3. Components of PPD-8 PPD-8 links together a range of national efforts: National Preparedness Goal National Preparedness System National Planning Frameworks National Preparedness Report Building and Sustaining Preparedness

  4. 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.

  5. Why are they Important? • PPD-8/NPG are collaborative efforts: • Focus on involving the whole community in preparedness • activities • Use a risk-based approach to support preparedness • Build and sustain core capabilities to confront any challenge • Integrates efforts across the mission areas of Prevention, • Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery • Assesses performance outcomes to measure and track progress • Ultimately, it will help us improve how we can all work together to keep our nation safe and resilient.

  6. What are the Core Capabilities?

  7. Core Capabilities Core Capabilities took the place of Target Capabilities. Various capabilities were consolidated and/or redefined. There were also new or significantly modified capabilities added, including: • Cybersecurity • Forensics and Attribution • Health and Social Services • Housing • Long-term Vulnerability Reduction • Natural and Cultural Resources • Risk and Disaster Resilience Assessment • Situational Assessment • Threats and Hazard Identification

  8. National Preparedness System The National Preparedness System (NPS) description is comprised of six major components: • Identifying and Assessing Risk • Estimating Capability Requirements • Building and Sustaining Capabilities • Planning to Deliver Capabilities • Validating Capabilities • Reviewing and Updating

  9. National Preparedness Cycle

  10. Threat and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (THIRA) • In 2012, FEMA released CPG 201 which outlined the process and requirements for THIRAs • The THIRA is a tool to assess risk and build capabilities targeted toward anticipated impacts of higher probability threats. • The state submitted our first THIRA to FEMA on Dec 31, 2012

  11. Threat and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (THIRA) • All EMPG funded jurisdictions are completing THIRAs this year. • Drafts were submitted on April 30th. • Many jurisdictions are undertaking their most comprehensive look at threats and capabilities in a long time • I encourage you, as a Citizen Corps Council or other agency, to get involved and provide information to your EMA.

  12. So where does Citizen Corps and CERT fit in the National Preparedness System?

  13. Citizen Corps/CERT Core Capabilities Tool Identifies Core Capabilities that Citizen Corps and CERT can tangibly support • Defines the capability • Describes how CC/CERT supports it • Provides examples • Includes a Whole Community toolkit for each capability

  14. CC/CERT Core Capabilities Tool • Includes the following capabilities: • Planning • Public Information & Warning • Operational Coordination • Intelligence and Information Sharing • Cybersecurity • Physical Protective Measures • Community Resilience • Long Term Vulnerability Reduction • Risk and Disaster Resilience Assessment • Threats and Hazard Identification

  15. CC/CERT Core Capabilities Tool • Includes the following capabilities: • Critical Transportation • Environmental Response/Health & Safety • Mass Care Services • Mass Search and Rescue Operations • Operational Communications • Public and Private Services and Resources • Public Health and Medical Services • Situational Assessment • Economic Recovery • Health and Social Services

  16. CC/CERT Core Capabilities Tool • To get a copy of the tool, go to Ready.gov • Click on the Citizen Corps link • Click on the Grants info link • Scroll down for the CC/CERT Core Capabilities Tool link • Or call Gina

  17. Next Steps • Review the tool at a CC/CERT meeting • Identify capabilities for which you have existing or potential resources, and list/describe the way in which you could contribute • Articulate primary purposes, functions, and activities of your CC/CERT • Share information with partners
