Other Critical Information <br /> National Preparedness <br /> DHS coordinates with local, State, territory, tribal, and Federal governments as well as <br /> the private and nonprofit sectors to facilitate an all-of-nation/whole community, risk <br /> driven, and capabilities-based approach to preparedness. The FY 2014 PSGP plays an <br /> important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting <br /> the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities identified in the Goal. Core <br /> capabilities are essential for the execution of critical tasks for each of the five mission <br /> areas outlined in the National Planning Frameworks. Information on the National <br /> Preparedness System can be found in the National Preparedness System Description <br /> (released Nov 2011) and the National Planning Frameworks which are posted on the <br /> FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness.
