Book excerpt: This work analyzed the five Post-Katrina Act provisions, reviewed agency documents--including emergency response and implementation plans and related reports--and discussed the act's implementation with FEMA officials to identify actions taken in response to the act's provisions during the period from October 2006 through November 2013. We also compared the actions described in agency documents and reported by officials with the provisions in order to describe any differences between the actions FEMA took and the language of the provisions. [It] does not assess the quality or likely outcomes of any of the actions that FEMA has taken. It was beyond the scope of this report to determine whether FEMA had fully complied with the provisions of the law or to evaluate the effectiveness--individually or collectively--of the actions that FEMA has taken.

Book excerpt: In summary, GAO found that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reported taking various actions to address each of the five provisions of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (Post-Katrina Act) that GAO reviewed. 1) 6 U.S.C. 319 (b)(2)(C): In response to this provision--which requires FEMA to revise the Catastrophic Incident Annex (the Annex) to the National Response Plan (NRP), now called the National Response Framework (NRF), and finalize and release the Catastrophic Incident Supplement (the Supplement) to the NRP--FEMA revised the Annex, and finalized and released the Supplement, but has not revised the Supplement to reflect the NRF. 2) 6 U.S.C. 748 (b): In response to this provision--which requires FEMA to carry out a national exercise program and conduct periodic national exercises, not less than biennially--FEMA developed the National Exercise Program (NEP) in coordination with other federal agencies and two national councils within the time frame required by the act, and conducted five national exercises since fiscal year 2007. 3) 6 U.S.C. 751 (b) and (d): In response to this provision--which requires FEMA to develop an inventory of federal response capabilities as well as a database for the inventory--FEMA officials said that, taken together, the draft Federal Interagency Operational Plan for the NRF (Response FIOP) and FEMA's Pre-Scripted Mission Assignment (PSMA) Catalogue address the requirement. 4) 6 U.S.C. 752 (b): In response to this provision--which requires FEMA to annually submit to Congress a Catastrophic Resource Report (CRR) that includes estimates of the resources of FEMA and other federal agencies needed for and devoted specifically to developing capabilities at all levels of government necessary to respond to a catastrophic incident--FEMA did not issue CRRs from fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2011, issued the first CRR in August 2012, and as of September 2013 FEMA officials said that they intend to issue the second annual CRR by the end of calendar year 2013. 5) 6 U.S.C. 753 (c) and (d): In response to this provision--which requires FEMA's development of pre-scripted mission assignments (PSMA) and presidential certification that federal agencies with responsibilities under the NRP (now NRF) have, among other things, needed operational capabilities to meet the National Preparedness Goal--FEMA issued a PSMA Catalogue, and FEMA officials said that various recently issued and to-be-issued reports and a draft plan should collectively be considered to meet the presidential certification requirement.

Download or read book Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans written by United States. Federal Emergency Management Agency and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidelines on developing emergency operations plans (EOP). It promotes a common understanding of the fundamentals of risk-informed planning and decision making to help planners examine a hazard or threat and produce integrated, coordinated, and synchronized plans. The goal of CPG 101 is to make the planning process routine across all phases of emergency management and for all homeland security mission areas. This Guide helps planners at all levels of government in their efforts to develop and maintain viable all-hazards, all-threats EOPs. Accomplished properly, planning provides a methodical way to engage the whole community in thinking through the life cycle of a potential crisis, determining required capabilities, and establishing a framework for roles and responsibilities. It shapes how a community envisions and shares a desired outcome, selects effective ways to achieve it, and communicates expected results. Each jurisdiction's plans must reflect what that community will do to address its specific risks with the unique resources it has or can obtain.

Book Synopsis Federal Emergency Management Policy Changes After Hurricane Katrina by :
Download or read book Federal Emergency Management Policy Changes After Hurricane Katrina written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports issued by committees of the 109th Congress, the White House, federal offices of Inspector General, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), among others, concluded that the losses caused by Hurricane Katrina and other disasters were due, in part, to deficiencies such as questionable leadership decisions and capabilities, organizational failures, overwhelmed preparation and communication systems, and inadequate statutory authorities. From these conclusions the 109th Congress revised federal emergency management policies vested in the President; reorganized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); and enhanced and clarified the mission, functions, and authorities of the agency, as well as those of its parent, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Six statutes enacted by the 109th Congress are notable in that they contain changes that apply to future federal emergency management actions. Most of these statutes contain relatively few changes to federal authorities related to emergencies and disasters. The Post-Katrina Act, however, contains many changes that will have long-term consequences for FEMA and other federal entities. That statute reorganizes FEMA, expands its statutory authority, and imposes new conditions and requirements on the operations of the agency. This CRS report summarizes information on the emergency management modifications adopted by Congress in response to the widespread calls for change. The report does not cover all public laws enacted by the 109th Congress in response to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. The focus here is on far-reaching and potentially permanent change in federal approaches to emergency management. The content of this report is limited to congressional action.

Book excerpt: During emergency situations, reliable communications are critical to ensure a rapid and sufficient response. The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA) was enacted in 2006 to improve the federal government's preparation for and response to disasters, including emergency communications. Since that time, natural and man-made disasters continue to test the nation's emergency communications capabilities. Given that states and localities are the first line of response following a disaster, states' emergency communications planning is very important. This report examines (1) federal efforts to implement PKEMRA emergency communications provisions related to planning and federal coordination; and (2) how states' emergency communications planning has changed since PKEMRA.

Book Synopsis Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the devastation that follows a major disaster, there is a need for multiple sectors to unite and devote new resources to support the rebuilding of infrastructure, the provision of health and social services, the restoration of care delivery systems, and other critical recovery needs. In some cases, billions of dollars from public, private and charitable sources are invested to help communities recover. National rhetoric often characterizes these efforts as a "return to normal." But for many American communities, pre-disaster conditions are far from optimal. Large segments of the U.S. population suffer from preventable health problems, experience inequitable access to services, and rely on overburdened health systems. A return to pre-event conditions in such cases may be short-sighted given the high costs - both economic and social - of poor health. Instead, it is important to understand that the disaster recovery process offers a series of unique and valuable opportunities to improve on the status quo. Capitalizing on these opportunities can advance the long-term health, resilience, and sustainability of communities - thereby better preparing them for future challenges. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters identifies and recommends recovery practices and novel programs most likely to impact overall community public health and contribute to resiliency for future incidents. This book makes the case that disaster recovery should be guided by a healthy community vision, where health considerations are integrated into all aspects of recovery planning before and after a disaster, and funding streams are leveraged in a coordinated manner and applied to health improvement priorities in order to meet human recovery needs and create healthy built and natural environments. The conceptual framework presented in Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters lays the groundwork to achieve this goal and provides operational guidance for multiple sectors involved in community planning and disaster recovery. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters calls for actions at multiple levels to facilitate recovery strategies that optimize community health. With a shared healthy community vision, strategic planning that prioritizes health, and coordinated implementation, disaster recovery can result in a communities that are healthier, more livable places for current and future generations to grow and thrive - communities that are better prepared for future adversities.
Book Synopsis Facing Hazards and Disasters by : National Research Council
Download or read book Facing Hazards and Disasters written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-09-10 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social science research conducted since the late 1970's has contributed greatly to society's ability to mitigate and adapt to natural, technological, and willful disasters. However, as evidenced by Hurricane Katrina, the Indian Ocean tsunami, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, and other recent events, hazards and disaster research and its application could be improved greatly. In particular, more studies should be pursued that compare how the characteristics of different types of events-including predictability, forewarning, magnitude, and duration of impact-affect societal vulnerability and response. This book includes more than thirty recommendations for the hazards and disaster community.
