The Target Capabilities List (TCLs)

TCL Update Project

• Update content to reflect current policies, guidance, capabilities• Establish ‘frameworks’ that are more user-friendly, especially for TCL

application to preparedness decision making• Strengthen the role of a jurisdiction’s unique risks and circumstances • Establish measurable targets for planning and assessment purposes• Provide an objective means to justify investments and priorities• Provide strong links among applicable standards, Federal policies

and guidance, and terminologies• Help synchronize administrative and programmatic reporting• Promote mutual aid and resource sharing• Promote integration across programs along the preparedness

lifecycle

Impacts from the TCL Update

• Individual capabilities will be implemented on a rolling basis as they are developed until the entire TCL is updated

• TCL updates will be reflected or referenced within federal preparedness programs (e.g., grant investment justifications, planning guidance, exercise evaluation guides, assessments)

• The TCL provides guidance for building and measuring capabilities, it is not meant to prescribe how to perform operations or to be viewed as a standard

• Entities are not expected to deliver a capability by itself – rather it is anticipated for capabilities to be met through mutual aid and regional collaboration.

Updated Frameworks Under Development

From the original 37 capabilities, the following six (6) are under development to test the means for updating the TCL:

• Animal Disease Emergencies

• Multi-Agency Coordination/Emergency Operations Center Management

• Intelligence

• Mass Transit Protection

• Incident Command

• Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)/Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Rescue

FEMA convened Technical Working Groups comprised of local officials from all Regions of the country to develop the first set of draft Frameworks being circulated for a wider national review

Target Capability Frameworks

A Target Capability Framework comprises three charts: Performance Classes, Performance Objectives, and Resource Elements

Performance Classes: Examples

Risk Factors Class I Class IV

Yearly Sales Value of Livestock, Poultry, and their Products

States with yearly sales of livestock, poultry, and their products of greater than $5 billion.

Counties and tribes with yearly sales of livestock, poultry, and their products of greater than $50 million.

Animal Population Density

States with greater than X concentrated feeding operations

Counties and tribes with greater than X concentrated feeding operations

WMD/HazMat Rescue

Risk Factors Class I Class IV

Population Cities and Counties with population greater than 3 million

Cities / Counties with population between 100,000 and 500,000

Population Density Cities / Counties with population less than 100,000 and density greater than 2,500 people per square mile

Critical Infrastructure Chemical

Animal Disease Emergencies

The purpose of the FEMA Gap Analysis Program is to engage State, Federal, and other partners in a process that identifies and addresses shortfalls in meeting disaster resource and planning requirements. Gaps are identified by comparing current capabilities to disaster response requirements.

Gap Analysis Program (GAP)

1. Transportation and Evacuation

2. Communications

3. Temporary Emergency Power

4. Mass-Care and Emergency Assistance

5. Logistics Management and Resource Support

6. Public Health

7. Search and Rescue

GAP Critical Areas:

Comprehensive Assessment System (CAS)

“A Comprehensive Assessment System (CAS) that assesses, on an ongoing basis, the Nation’s overall preparedness, including operational readiness.”

– PKEMRA 649(a)

Analysis and information that:

Informs the Federal Preparedness Report (FPR), State Preparedness Reports (SPR), and, ultimately, National Preparedness Report (NPR)

Helps set policy requirements and allocate finite resources

Supports the Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) Cost-to-Capability (C2C) Initiative

Guides improvements in training, exercises and operations

Assess compliance with the national preparedness system, National Incident Management System, National Response Plan, and other related plans and strategies (PKEMRA 649 (c)(1))

Assess capability levels at the time of assessment against target capability levels (PKEMRA 649 (c)(2))

Assess resource needs to meet desired target capability levels (PKEMRA 649 (c)(3))

Assess performance of training, exercise, and operations (PKEMRA 649 (c)(4))

National Response Framework (NRF)

National Incident Management System2008

1st edition NIMS Guidance Document issued in 2004

2008 NIMS Document:

• Preparedness

• Communications and Information Management

• Resource Management

• Command and Management

• Ongoing Management and Maintence

2nd edition NIMS Guidance Document issued in 2008

Preparedness: Additional roles of elected and appointed officials to define their responsibilities prior to and during an incident Added key roles of NGOs and private sector, detailing how they should be integrated into preparedness efforts

Communications & Information Management This component was heavily revised to better articulate the importance of communications and information management and is now comprised of three main sections.

Resource Management The majority of the concept and principles within this component remained unchanged; however, clarifying language was added wherever possible to ensure readability.

National Incident Management System2008 Changes

Command and Management Clarified the purpose of Area Command and how it fits into ICS Expanded the Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) section to better define the process of Multiagency Coordination and the elements that make up the System Replaced the term MAC Entities with MAC Groups Major system elements within MACS now include Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs) and communications/dispatch centers.

Ongoing Management and Maintenance As part of the restructuring of the component, the Supporting Technologies chapter of the 2004 NIMS was moved into the Ongoing Management and Maintenance Component in the 2008 version.

National Incident Management System2008 Changes

NIMS – the path forward

• NIMS Compliance Metrics (FY09 and FY10)

Community Preparedness

Volunteer programs

(i.e., Citizen Corps)

Citizen Preparedness

(i.e., Individual and Family preparedness)

2 primary components

Why is it critical to involve the Community?

Journal of Emergency Medical Services (2004); National Fire Protection Association (2003); National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (2003)

• Less than 1% of the U.S. population is an emergency responder

• In 95% of situations, victim/ bystander first to respond

Citizen Corps Partners

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates and trains citizens in basic disaster response skills

Fire Corps promotes the use of citizen advocates to provide support to fire and rescue departments

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program helps medical, public health, and other volunteers offer their expertise

Neighborhood Watch/USAonWatch incorporates terrorism awareness education into its existing crime prevention mission

Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) works to enhance the capacity of state and local law enforcement to utilize volunteers
