DHSEM

National Preparedness System A system that leverages

what was already going on in the whole community

A common system of processes and tools that allows the whole community to move in the same direction, speaking the same language

All of the components seek to answer the question: What are we accomplishing in relation to the National Preparedness Goal?

DHSEM

THIRA as Part of the NPS The foundation of the

NPS is identifying and assessing risks

To know what we are accomplishing, we need to set baselines and end-states

Core Capabilities

DHSEM

Whole Community PartnersSMEs: Specialized knowledge can be instrumental in helping to address

the following types of questions that arise when estimating resource requirements: What shareable resources are appropriate for

achieving capability targets? What are the typical performance characteristics

of those shareable resources? How might performance vary depending on the local conditions?

How long does it take to deploy the resources? How does deployment impact their effectiveness?

DHSEM

Response Framework Covers the

capabilities necessary to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs after an incident has occurred

Based on the 2008 National Response Framework

Core Capability In-Depth:Public and Private Services and Resources

Where do my first responder activities and other key services, such as fire suppression, fit in?

Public and Private Services and Resources “provide essential public and private services and resources to the affected population and surrounding communities, to include…fire and other first response services.”

Potential activities include:• Fire management and suppression• Law enforcement• Other first response services• Public works and engineering• Logistics in support of other core capabilities

DHSEM

Response Critical TasksExamples of Public and Private Services and Resources critical tasks: Mobilize and deliver

governmental, nongovernmental, and private sector resources within and outside of the affected area to save lives, sustain lives, meet basic human needs, stabilize the incident, and transition to recovery

Enhance public and private services and resources support for an affected area

DHSEM

Recovery Framework Covers the capabilities necessary

to help state and local communities recover from a disaster

Focuses on a timely restoration, strengthening and revitalization of the infrastructure; housing; a sustainable economy; and the health, social, cultural, historic, and environmental fabric of affected communities

Recovery Support Functions• Community Planning

and Capacity Building

• Economic Recovery• Health and Social

Services• Housing• Infrastructure

Systems• Natural and Cultural
