SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2003,
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive-8: National Preparedness
(HSPD–8) called for establishing a
system that would assess the Nation’s
overall preparedness and provide an
annual status report of national
preparedness. Three years later, the
Post-Katrina Emergency Management
Reform Act (PKEMRA) included
requirements to establish a
‘‘comprehensive system to assess, on an
ongoing basis, the Nation’s prevention
capabilities and overall preparedness.’’
The National Preparedness
Directorate (NPD) within FEMA is
charged with developing the
Comprehensive Assessment System
(CAS). The CAS will, as mandated by
PKEMRA 649(c)(1–4), assess
compliance with the national
preparedness system, the National
Incident Management System (NIMS),
and other related plans; assess
capability levels against target levels;
assess resource needs to meet target
levels; and assess the performance of
training, exercises, and operations.
