Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) PPD-8 National Planning Frameworks

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 working drafts of the National Planning Frameworks are available for review and feedback here:www.fema.gov/ppd8. The Frameworks are part of Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8), which sets the vision for national preparedness. Together, the five Frameworks will outline the whole community’s roles, responsibilities and key actions to keep our nation safe and resilient. Each Framework is supported by its guiding principles, which capture basic mission-area values, and will help shape framework development and implementation. This month, the focus is on revising the National Response Framework, and developing the Prevention, Protection and Mitigation Frameworks. The National Disaster Recovery Framework was released in September.

As you read the Frameworks, please pay close attention to the core capabilities, roles and responsibilities, and coordinating structures identified in the working drafts.

We welcome your thoughts and ideas on any or all of the following:

• Examples of things you do related to the core capabilities.
