Question Answer
What is HSEEP? The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program provides the guiding principles for exercise programs and an approach to exercise program/ project management, design and development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning. The basics of emergency management exercises.
The fundamental principles of HSEEP are: • Guided by Elected and Appointed officials • Capability-based, Objective Driven • Progressive Planning Approach • Whole Community Integration • Informed by Risk • Common Methodology
What are the components of Common methodology? Program management, strategy and planning, design and development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning.
Why Exercise? Exercises help to: • Clarify roles and responsibilities • Improve interagency coordination • Find resource gaps • Develop individual performance • Identify opportunities for improvement
NPS? The National Preparedness System (NPS) outlines a process that can be used by communities in preparedness activities
NPS consists of six components • Identify and assess risk • Estimate capability requirements • Build and sustain capabilities • Plan to deliver capabilities •Validate capabilities, and review and update risks, tools, and resources. • These components provide communities with a consistent and reliable approach for identifying high-priority capability targets
NPG? National Preparedness Goal presents an integrated, layered, and whole community approach to preparedness. The Goal, itself, is a result of contributions from the whole community. It recognizes that everyone can contribute to and benefit from national preparedness efforts.
National Preparedness Goal mission areas • Prevention • Protection • Mitigation • Response • Recovery
National Preparedness System Component: Identify and Assess Risk Determine which capabilities should be evaluated, review historical and current data on existing, potential, and perceived threats for insight into the community's current strengths and opportunities for improvement.
National Preparedness System Component: Estimate Capability Requirements Determine which resources are required to address identified risks and identify where the community currently stands in meeting those requirements.
National Preparedness System Component: Build and Sustain Capabilities Determine the best way to use or allocate resources to build capabilities.
National Preparedness System Component: Plan to Deliver Capabilities The foundation of the National Preparedness System (NPS) is the integration of the whole community in the planning process. Integration helps ensure that exercise planning accounts for core capability relationships and dependencies across mission areas.
National Preparedness System Component: Validate Capabilities Capability validation occurs during the commission of the planned exercise. Measuring progress toward achieving the National Preparedness Goal assists in resource allocation and preparedness priorities.
National Preparedness System Component: Review and Update Risks, Tools & Resources Regular review and update of the tools and resources used to address these components.
