The Program and Capability Review is intended to help States align their homeland security programs with the National Preparedness Goal and guidance, the seven National Priorities, the eight priority target capabilities, and ensure programs are organized and managed in support of the National Preparedness Goad. Further, the review enables States to identify program and capability strengths and weaknesses across their homeland security program through a qualitative analytical process.

Capabilities Based Planning

"HSPD-8 outlines requirements for NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS. Not Disaster Preparedness, Emergency Preparedness, or Terrorism Preparedness rather All-Hazards Preparedness. We need to reorient our preparedness programs within DHS and at the local, State, Federal, and NATIONAL level. To do that, we need a national all-hazards preparedness strategy. Its time to take the All-Hazards approach to the next level. HSPD-8 calls for a coordinated and integrated approach to all-hazard preparedness across all levels of government. It requires the establishment of a national all-hazards preparedness goal that sets the standards for preparedness across all mission areas and a minimum acceptable level of capabilities to respond in case of emergency. To reach that goal, HSPD-8 calls for establishing mechanism[s] for improved delivery of Federal preparedness assistance and actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities of Federal State and local entities."
