The working drafts of the National Planning Frameworks are available for review and feedback here:www.fema.gov/ppd8. The Frameworks are part of Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8), which sets the vision for national preparedness. Together, the five Frameworks will outline the whole community’s roles, responsibilities and key actions to keep our nation safe and resilient. Each Framework is supported by its guiding principles, which capture basic mission-area values, and will help shape framework development and implementation. This month, the focus is on revising the National Response Framework, and developing the Prevention, Protection and Mitigation Frameworks. The National Disaster Recovery Framework was released in September.

As you read the Frameworks, please pay close attention to the core capabilities, roles and responsibilities, and coordinating structures identified in the working drafts.
