Integrated Planning System (IPS) Purpose 1
Integrated Planning System (IPS) Purpose 1 : "The IPS lays the initial foundation necessary to actualize the Homeland Security Management System (HSMS). It is a major step in (1) establishing common Federal planning doctrine, (2) providing a means for synchronizing operations across the spectrum of homeland security operations (prevent, protect, respond and recover) and (3) integrating national planning efforts both horizontally across the Federal Government and vertically among Federal, State, local and Tribal entities. However, further work is necessary to successfully integrate existing Federal guidance, policies, strategies, plans and legislation with the HSMS. To this end, through future refinement of the IPS and the development of other HSPD-8 Annex I deliverables such as the National Homeland Security Plan (NHSP), the Federal Government remains committed to addressing the following key issues in follow-on efforts: (1) A mechanism to inform National Homeland Security planning efforts through a U.S. Government-wide risk-based analysis process. (2) A process used to update the National Planning Scenarios. (3) A standardized methodology to define and develop the required national capabilities and capacity necessary to execute IPS-generated plans. (4) A standardized methodology that ensures the success of IPS-generated plans by integrating the Federal budgeting and resourcing processes necessary to execute IPS-generated plans".
