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 Protection Framework with you. When we talk about “protection,” we are referring to the things we do every day to safeguard ourselves against acts of terrorism, and man made and natural disasters. This includes protecting our citizens, residents and visitors, as well as buildings, bridges, power and information systems, food supply, and other critical assets, systems and networks. The goal is to protect our nation against the greatest risks so that our interests, aspirations and way of life can thrive. Everyone in the community plays a role. For more information, visit www.fema.gov/ppd8.
We welcome your thoughts and ideas on each of the following topics:
- Examples of how you protect your family, business, infrastructure, and community.
- The roles that individuals, businesses, community organizations, infrastructure owners and operators, and others play related to protection.
Please feel free to comment on or discuss any or all of these topics. We look forward to hearing from you!
