National Campaigns and Programs <br />Preparedness grant funding can generally be used to support the following campaigns and programs that <br />have been developed by or in partnership with DHS or FEMA. <br />FEMA Strategic Plan <br />The 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic outlines a bold vision and three ambitious goals designed to <br />address key challenges the agency faces during a pivotal moment in the field of emergency management. <br />Wide-ranging and long-term, the goals defined in the plan respond to the changing landscape in which we <br />find ourselves. The goals to meet this challenge are: <br />Goal I - Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management. Disasters impact people <br />and communities differently. Every disaster occurs within a unique context based on a <br />c ommuni t y' s ge o g r a p h i c, d e m o g r a p h i c pol i t i ca <br />unique contexts require tailored solutions that are designed to meet their unique needs; <br />Goal 2 - Lead Whole of Community in Climate Resilience. Climate change represents a <br />profound crisis for the nation, making natural disasters more frequent, more intense, and more <br />destructive. The growing severity of disasters increases the time it takes for communities to <br />recover — a process that can be further complicated by repeat events in areas already struggling to <br />bounce back. These cascading and compounding impacts, propelled by climate change, pose the <br />greatest risk to our communal and nationwide resilience; and <br />Goal 3 - Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation. The increase in <br />frequency, severity, and complexity of emergency, disaster, and fire incidents has heightened <br />demands on FEMA and on the larger emergency management community. FEMA must expand <br />its approach to agency readiness and to national preparedness. The only way to achieve this is to <br />i n c r e a s e t he n a t i on' s over al 1 emer g e n c y manag <br />well as the private sector, the nonprofit sector, and among individuals. <br />These goals position FEMA to address the increasing range and complexity of disasters, support the <br />di v e r s i t y of c ommuni t i es we s er ve, and c ompl emen <br />management community. All preparedness grant program recipients are encouraged to review the 2022- <br />2026 FEMA Strategic and consider how FY 2023 grant f u n d i n g c a n b e u s e d t o <br />goals and objectives of equity, climate resilience, and readiness as they apply to a n e nspedifih i3eddss <br />and the needs of the whole community. We invite all stakeholders and partners to also adopt these <br />priorities and join us in building a more prepared and resilient nation. <br />Whole Community Preparedness <br />Preparedness is a shared responsibility that calls for the involvement of everyone —not just the <br />government —in preparedness efforts. By working together, everyone can help keep the nation safe from <br />harm and help keep it resilient when struck by hazards, such as natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and <br />pandemics. <br />Whole Community includes, but is not limited to: <br />Individuals and families, including those with access and functional needs; <br />Businesses; <br />47 <br />
