  13. Doctrine development: • Preparedness – National Preparedness Goal (NPG) and Target Capabilities (TCL) • Exercises – National Exercise Program (NEP) • Incident Management – National Incident Management System (NIMS) • Planning – Integrated Planning System (IPS) and Comprehensive Preparedness Guides (CPG)

  14. Assessments • Target Capabilities List (TCL) Update Project • Gap Analysis Program (GAP) • Comprehensive Assessment System (CAS)

  15. The Target Capabilities List (TCLs) Respond Mission Area Common Mission Area • Animal Health Emergency Support • Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place • Critical Resource Logistics and Distribution • Emergency Operations Center • Management • Emergency Public Information and Warning • Emergency Public Safety and Security • Response • Emergency Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment • Environmental Health • Explosive Device Response Operations • Fatality Management • Fire Incident Response Support • Isolation and Quarantine • Mass Care (Sheltering, Feeding, and Related Services) • Mass Prophylaxis • Medical Supplies Management and Distribution • Medical Surge • Onsite Incident Management • Responder Safety and Health • Search and Rescue (Land-Based) • Volunteer Management and Donations • WMD/Hazardous Materials Response and • Decontamination • Communications • Community Preparedness and Participation • Intelligence/Information Sharing and • Dissemination • Planning • Risk Management Prevent Mission Area • CBRNE Detection • Counter-Terror Investigations and Law Enforcement • Information Gathering and Recognition • Intelligence Analysis and Production Protect Mission Area • Critical Infrastructure Protection • Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation • Food and Agriculture Safety and Defense • Laboratory Testing Recovery Mission Area • Economic and Community Recovery • Restoration of Lifelines • Structural Damage Assessment Common Mission Area Respond Mission Area • Communications • Community Preparedness and Participation • Intelligence/Information Sharing and • Dissemination • Planning • Risk Management • Animal Health Emergency Support • Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place • Critical Resource Logistics and Distribution • Emergency Operations Center • Management • Emergency Public Information and Warning • Emergency Public Safety and Security • Response • Emergency Triage and Pre-Hospital • Treatment • Environmental Health • Explosive Device Response Operations • Fatality Management • Fire Incident Response Support • Isolation and Quarantine • Mass Care (Sheltering, Feeding, and • Related Services) • Mass Prophylaxis • Medical Supplies Management and Distribution • Medical Surge • Onsite Incident Management • Responder Safety and Health • Search and Rescue (Land-Based) • Volunteer Management and Donations • WMD/Hazardous Materials Response and • Decontamination Prevent Mission Area • CBRNE Detection • Counter-Terror Investigations and Law Enforcement • Information Gathering and Recognition • Intelligence Analysis and Production Protect Mission Area • Critical Infrastructure Protection • Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation • Food and Agriculture Safety and Defense • Laboratory Testing Recovery Mission Area • Economic and Community Recovery • Restoration of Lifelines • Structural Damage Assessment

  16. TCL Update Project • Update content to reflect current policies, guidance, capabilities • Establish ‘frameworks’ that are more user-friendly, especially for TCL application to preparedness decision making • Strengthen the role of a jurisdiction’s unique risks and circumstances • Establish measurable targets for planning and assessment purposes • Provide an objective means to justify investments and priorities • Provide strong links among applicable standards, Federal policies and guidance, and terminologies • Help synchronize administrative and programmatic reporting • Promote mutual aid and resource sharing • Promote integration across programs along the preparedness lifecycle

  17. Impacts from the TCL Update • Individual capabilities will be implemented on a rolling basis as they are developed until the entire TCL is updated • TCL updates will be reflected or referenced within federal preparedness programs (e.g., grant investment justifications, planning guidance, exercise evaluation guides, assessments) • The TCL provides guidance for building and measuring capabilities, it is not meant to prescribe how to perform operations or to be viewed as a standard • Entities are not expected to deliver a capability by itself – rather it is anticipated for capabilities to be met through mutual aid and regional collaboration.

  18. Updated Frameworks Under Development From the original 37 capabilities, the following six (6) are under development to test the means for updating the TCL: • Animal Disease Emergencies • Multi-Agency Coordination/Emergency Operations Center Management • Intelligence • Mass Transit Protection • Incident Command • Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)/Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Rescue • FEMA convened Technical Working Groups comprised of local officials from all Regions of the country to develop the first set of draft Frameworks being circulated for a wider national review

  19. Target Capability Frameworks • A Target Capability Framework comprises three charts: Performance Classes, Performance Objectives, and Resource Elements

  20. Performance Classes: Examples WMD/HazMat Rescue Animal Disease Emergencies

  21. Gap Analysis Program (GAP) GAP Critical Areas: • Transportation and Evacuation • Communications • Temporary Emergency Power • Mass-Care and Emergency Assistance • Logistics Management and Resource Support • Public Health • Search and Rescue The purpose of the FEMA Gap Analysis Program is to engage State, Federal, and other partners in a process that identifies and addresses shortfalls in meeting disaster resource and planning requirements. Gaps are identified by comparing current capabilities to disaster response requirements.

  22. Comprehensive Assessment System (CAS) REQUIREMENTS OUTCOMES Analysis and information that: • Informs the Federal Preparedness Report (FPR), State Preparedness Reports (SPR), and, ultimately, National Preparedness Report (NPR) • Helps set policy requirements and allocate finite resources • Supports the Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) Cost-to-Capability (C2C) Initiative • Guides improvements in training, exercises and operations • Assess compliance with the national preparedness system, National Incident Management System, National Response Plan, and other related plans and strategies (PKEMRA 649 (c)(1)) • Assess capability levels at the time of assessment against target capability levels (PKEMRA 649 (c)(2)) • Assess resource needs to meet desired target capability levels (PKEMRA 649 (c)(3)) • Assess performance of training, exercise, and operations (PKEMRA 649 (c)(4)) “A Comprehensive Assessment System (CAS) that assesses, on an ongoing basis, the Nation’s overall preparedness, including operational readiness.” – PKEMRA 649(a)

  25. National Incident Management System2008 1st edition NIMS Guidance Document issued in 2004 2nd edition NIMS Guidance Document issued in 2008 2008 NIMS Document: • Preparedness • Communications and Information Management • Resource Management • Command and Management • Ongoing Management and Maintence

  26. National Incident Management System2008 Changes • Preparedness: • Additional roles of elected and appointed officials to define their responsibilities prior to and during an incident • Added key roles of NGOs and private sector, detailing how they should be integrated into preparedness efforts • Communications & Information Management • This componentwas heavily revised to better articulate the importance of communications and information management and is now comprised of three main sections. • Resource Management • The majority of the concept and principles within this component remained unchanged; however, clarifying language was added wherever possible to ensure readability.

  27. National Incident Management System2008 Changes • Command and Management • Clarified the purpose of Area Command and how it fits into ICS • Expanded the Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) section to better define the process of Multiagency Coordination and the elements that make up the System • Replaced the term MAC Entities with MAC Groups • Major system elements within MACS now include Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs) and communications/dispatch centers. • Ongoing Management and Maintenance • As part of the restructuring of the component, the Supporting Technologies chapter of the 2004 NIMS was moved into the Ongoing Management and Maintenance Component in the 2008 version.

  28. NIMS – the path forward • NIMS Compliance Metrics (FY09 and FY10) • NIMS Strategy Document • NIMS 5-year Training Plan • ICS Position-specific Training • ICS Emergency Responder Field Guide • NIMS Intelligence/Investigative Function Guide • NIMS Credentialing Guide
