4.1: Preparedness
Ensure Preparedness. Other Information:
We will empower Americans and governments at all levels to be prepared, capable, and ready to respond to adverse incidents.
This national preparedness will help reduce the loss of life and property from adverse incidents, emergencies, and disasters,
including catastrophic events by effectively preparing the Federal response and encouraging a national culture of preparedness
and self-sufficiency. We will assist in providing for medical preparedness against public health threats – both naturally
occurring and man-made. We will develop and employ joint planning and exercise capabilities to enhance governmental preparedness.
We will empower Americans to take individual and community actions before and after disaster strikes through effective mitigation
and preparedness programs. We will ensure that Americans and their governments at all levels are ready for man-made events,
natural disasters, and severe pandemics.
