Preparedness Grants Manual | February 2021 47 • Analyze impacts to the various lifelines and develop priority focus areas for each operational period during response; • Identify and communicate complex interdependencies to identify major limiting factors hindering stabilization; and • Update the National Response Framework to reflect use of lifelines in response planning. Lifelines include opportunities to: • Enable a true unity of effort between government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, including infrastructure owners and operators; • Integrate preparedness efforts, existing plans, and identify unmet needs to better anticipate response requirements; and • Refine reporting sources and products to enhance situational awareness, best determine capability gaps, and demonstrate progress towards stabilization. For more information on lifelines, please visit Community Lifelines | FEMA.gov and https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/177222. Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and Targeted Violence The United States faces increasingly complex threats from terrorism and targeted violence. Both continue to pose a grave threat in ways that have evolved dramatically in the nearly two decades since the 9/11 attacks. Although foreign terrorist organizations remain intent on striking our Homeland, we also face a growing threat from domestic actors. Combating terrorism and targeted violence requires the combined efforts of DHS, our federal and SLTT government partners, and civil society. To address these threats, in September 2019 DHS adopted the DHS Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism and Targeted Violence which explains how the department will use the tools and expertise that have protected and strengthened the country from foreign terrorist organizations to address the evolving challenges of today. DHS has also now finalized a corresponding Public Action Plan. Preparedness grant recipients are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these documents and consider adopting the concepts, principals, and goals they outline.
