SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD–8:
National Preparedness) issued on March
30, 2011, establishes a National
Preparedness Goal (NPG) that identifies
the core capabilities necessary for
preparedness and a National
Preparedness System (NPS) to guide
activities that will enable the Nation to
achieve the goal. The system will allow
the Nation to track the progress of our
ability to build and improve the
capabilities necessary to prevent,
protect against, mitigate the effects of,
respond to, and recover from those
threats that pose the greatest risk to the
security of the Nation.
A fully developed National
Preparedness System will provide an
integrated approach to preparedness
that can be implemented and measured
at all levels of government. The system
should provide an all-of-Nation and
whole community approach to
preparedness, from neighborhood
organizations to civic groups and
private businesses. It should contain a
methodical approach integrated across
the preparedness cycle and link together
programs and requirements into a
comprehensive system, driving rational
decision-making and allowing for a
direct and defensible assessment of
progress against clearly defined
objectives.
A fully implemented National
Preparedness System will be based on a
consistent methodology for assessing
the threats and hazards facing a given
jurisdiction. The findings of the
assessment should then drive planning
factors and all other components of the
preparedness cycle including resource
requirements, existing capabilities and
capability gaps, driving investments to
close those gaps, making and validating
improvements in capabilities through
training and exercising, and continually
assessing progress.
Section 648(b)(1) of the Post-Katrina
Emergency Management Reform Act of
2006 (6 U.S.C. 748(b)(1)) also provides
for these exercises and states the
Administrator ‘‘shall carry out a
national exercise program to test and
evaluate the national preparedness goal,
National Incident Management System,
National Response Plan, and other
related plans and strategies.’’ The
Homeland Security Exercise and
Evaluation Program (HSEEP) provides
the program structure, multi-year
planning system, tools, and guidance
necessary for entities to build and
sustain exercise programs that enhance

homeland security capabilities and,
ultimately, preparedness. The
Homeland Security Exercise and
Evaluation (HSEEP) After Action Report
(AAR) Improvement Plan (IP) provides
a standardized method for reporting the
results of preparedness exercises and
identifying, correcting and sharing as
appropriate strengths and areas for
improvement. Thus, the HSEEP AAR/
IP—in line with the NPG and the NPS—
supports efforts across the whole
community that improve our national
capacity to build, sustain, and deliver
core capabilities.
