Note: This particular conversation topic is closed. Thank you for your ideas, comments and votes. You can contribute to our open Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) conversations -- they are listed in the left column of the page under "Active Campaigns."
The ideas we received so far were helpful in shaping the document and will also be considered as we continue to forge ahead in meeting the remaining milestones under PPD-8. To learn more about the status of PPD-8 efforts, visit www.fema.gov/ppd8. We appreciate your involvement.
The National Planning Frameworks for Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, and Response are available for review and comment here:www.fema.gov/ppd8. The frameworks are a deliverable called for in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) and set the foundation for the implementation of the mission areas. As part of this effort, the frameworks lay out key roles and responsibilities among all partners, including local, state, tribal, territorial and federal governments, the private sector, voluntary, faith-based and community organizations, and the public. The National Disaster Recovery Framework was released in September and can be found in this PDF
FEMA and its partners want to discuss the Response Framework with you. When we talk about “response,” we are referring to the things we can do to save lives, protect property and the environment and meet basic human needs (food, water, shelter) after an emergency or disaster occurs. This includes making sure that we can respond to any emergency or disaster, quickly restore a safe and secure environment and re-establish services such as telephone, electricity and water. Everyone in the community plays a role. For more information, visit www.fema.gov/ppd8.

Campaign: Response Framework
Fatality Management is a unique and complex set of tasks that have 100% legal jurisdiction at the local level. Unlike most disasters, there is no federal agency with authority or legal jurisdiction as a mass fatality incident escalates. Further, the complexity is increased because the medico-legal system throughout the country is fragmented and uniquely organized. Fatality management does not fit well in any of the ...more »

I have made it a point to wear something red every Friday since 9/11. When deployed, I prefer (and am sometimes required) to work in a FEMA shirt. The decision to go uniformly to blue FEMA shirts (an otherwise good idea) makes this a problem. (No, I don't think that little bit of red in the FEMA seal is enough.) For this good cause, I would ask that red FEMA shirts be re-authorized for Friday wear only. While I'm on the ...more »
