Preparedness Task Force

Congress directed the establishment of a Local, State, Tribal, and Federal Preparedness Task force to examine the national preparedness system and how emergency management doctrine, measurements and assessments, grants, federal requirements, and other elements of the preparedness cycle support that System.

Organization:  Representation from a cross section of missions, disciplines, types and levels of government, as well as non-government sectors  An informal working group is being formed now to begin discussions until a formal advisory body is established under FACA  Existing groups (e.g., Reporting Requirements Working Group, National and Regional Advisory Committees) will be leveraged Requested support from the Regions:  Expert advice and counsel  Assistance in evaluative process  Host meetings; help facilitate comments from stakeholders and assist with outreach Note: First meeting expected in March; letters being sent to national associations requesting membership recommendations 8

Requirements Reduction Working Group

Goal:  Establish an Agency-wide information gathering process and system fielded to State,  territory, local, and tribal governments once each calendar year The new process and system must collect defensible data that is accessible by all stakeholders, and that can be used for conducting assessments of the Nation’s preparedness capacity for all-hazards Objectives:  Reduce data requests from FEMA on States   Leverage existing data collected from previous and ongoing data calls Ensure preparedness data has a high level of utility for all stakeholders Deliverable:  Data collection plan and methodology for FY 2010  Near-, mid-, and long-term recommendations on program and data collection processes 9
