Four Critical Elements, National Preparedness Guidelines
Four Critical Elements, National Preparedness Guidelines : "The National Preparedness Guidelines package?is comprised of four critical elements: (1) The National Preparedness Vision, which provides a concise statement of the core preparedness goal for the nation. (2) The 15 National Planning Scenarios, which collectively depict a diverse set of high consequence threat scenarios regarding both potential terrorist attacks and natural disasters. Collectively, these scenarios are designed to focus contingency planning for homeland security preparedness work at all levels of government and with the private sector. The 15 scenarios form the basis for coordinated Federal planning, training and exercises. (3) The Universal Task List, which is a menu of some 1,600 unique tasks that can facilitate efforts to prevent, protect against, respond to and recover from the major events that are represented by the National Planning Scenarios. It presents a common vocabulary and identifies key tasks that support development of essential capabilities among organizations at all levels. Of course, no entity will perform every task. Instead, this task list was used to assist in creating the Target Capabilities List. It is included in the Guidelines package as a reference for interested jurisdictions. (4) The Target Capabilities List, which defines 37 specific capabilities that communities, the private sector and all levels of government should possess in order to respond effectively to disasters".
