Priorities The National Preparedness System is the instrument the Nation employs to build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities in order to achieve the Goal of a secure and resilient Nation. Complex and far-reaching threats and hazards require a collaborative and whole community approach to national preparedness that engages individuals, families, communities, private and nonprofit sectors, faith -based organizations, and all levels of government. The guidance, programs, processes, and systems that support each component of the National Preparedness System allows for the integration of preparedness efforts that build, sustain, and deliver core capabilities and achieve the desired outcomes identified in the Goal. DHS/FEMA annually publishes the National Preparedness Report (NPR) to evaluate National progress in building, sustaining, and delivering the core capabilities outlined in the Goal. This analysis provides a National perspective on critical preparedness trends for whole community partners to use to inform program priorities, allocate resources, and communicate with stakeholders about issues of shared concern. Recipients are required to consider national areas for improvement identified in the 2014 NPR, which include the following core capabilities: • Cybersecurity; • Infrastructure Systems; • Health and Social Services; • Housing; and • Long-term Vulnerability Reduction. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security requires recipients to prioritize investments that address capability targets and gaps identified through the annual THIRA and SPR process. These assessments set capability targets and measure current ability to meet those targets. Minimum funding amounts are not prescribed by the Department for these priorities; however, recipients must support state, local, regional, and national efforts in achieving the desired outcomes of these priorities. Appendix B-Prosrram Priorities addresses additional areas where funding can be applied to strengthen preparedness efforts. B.
