Interim National Preparedness Goal

What is the National Preparedness Goal?

• Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8
  (HSPD-8) on National Preparedness calls for a
  domestic all-hazards preparedness goal that
  establishes
• Measurable readiness priorities and targets
• Standards for preparedness assessments and
  strategies
• A system for assessing the Nations overall level
  of preparedness
• The purpose of the National Preparedness Goal is
  to ensure a unified, risk-based, national
  approach to prepare for current and future
  threats and hazards
• The Interim Goal was published on March 31. The
  final version of the Goal, with target levels of
  capability, will be released in October 2005

Vision Statement
The Interim Goal will help the Nation achieve its
vision for preparedness
To engage Federal, State, local, and tribal
entities, their private and non-governmental
partners, and the general public to achieve and
sustain risk-based target levels of capability to
prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover
from major events in order to minimize the impact
on lives, property, and the economy.

  determining preparedness needs, establishing
  priorities, and allocating resources
• Requirements for States and UASI Areas to conduct
  limited re-assessments focused on national
  priorities and attendant capabilities
• Requirements for adding Addendums to State and
  UASI homeland security strategies
• Interim Guidance is currently undergoing final
  coordination and review and will be released in
  the coming weeks

  Goal and Guidance this Spring
• Los Angeles (April 27)
• Chicago (May 11)
• Miami (May 27)
• Conduct additional coordination and outreach
  through information sharing, mobile training
  teams, and ODP technical assistance
• In coordination with national stakeholders, set
  target capability levels and issue a final
  National Preparedness Goal in October 2005
• States will submit supplemental preparedness data
  as part of their FY06 grant applications this
  data will be analyzed for the first Annual Report
  to the President, to be delivered in April 2006
