Federal Preparedness Coordinators (FPCs) 1
Federal Preparedness Coordinators (FPCs) 1 : "As the Nation's Preeminent Emergency Management Agency, we will promote the integration and synchronization of preparedness across jurisdictions and all levels of governments by establishing a network of Federal Preparedness Coordinators. Strengthening preparedness requires a dedicated, locally-based DHS senior executive to support the networks of Federal, State, local, tribal, and private-sector partners to plan, train and exercise in preparation for coordinated contingency missions, as well as to share information on a routine basis. Therefore, FPCs will play a vital role in building regional preparedness across jurisdictions through focused planning, information sharing and partnership building. They will strengthen preparedness within their assigned Regions to prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies by establishing a Regional domestic all-hazards preparedness goal, integrating mechanisms for improved delivery of Federal preparedness assistance to State and local governments and outlining actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities. Their efforts will lead the integration of DHS' Regional preparedness efforts, including measurable readiness priorities and targets goals that appropriately balance the potential threat and magnitude of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies with the resources required to prevent, respond to, and recover from them".
