• National Preparedness Report, August 2014
  Presidential Policy Directive 8: National Preparedness, requires an annual National Preparedness Report (NPR) that summarizes national progress in building, sustaining and delivering the 31 core capabilities outlined in the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal). The intent of the NPR is to provide the Nation-not just the federal government-with practical insights on core capabilities that can inform decisions about program priorities, resource allocation, and community actions. This report marks the third annual NPR, updating and expanding upon findings from the previous two years. The 2014 NPR highlights accomplishments achieved or reported during 2013.

• NOAA: U.S. Sets Record With a Dozen Billion-Dollar Weather Disasters in One Year
  Source:NOAA, 12/7/11
  
  To date, the U.S. set a record with 12 separate billion dollar weather/climate disasters in 2011, with an aggregate damage total of approximately $52 billion. This record year breaks the previous record of nine billion-dollar weather/climate disasters in one year, which occured in 2008. Previously only 10 events were reported; the two new billion-dollar weather and climate events added to the 2011 total include:
  
  • The Texas, New Mexico, Arizona wildfires event, now exceeding $1 billion, had been previously accounted for in the larger Southern Plains drought and heatwave event. This is in line with how NOAA has traditionally accounted for large wildfire events as separate events
  • The June 18-22 Midwest/Southeast Tornadoes and Severe Weather event, which just recently exceeded the $1 billion threshold.
• Presidential Policy Directive/PPD–8. The PPD is designed to facilitate an integrated, all-of-nation/whole community, capabilities–based approach to preparedness. Involving federal partners, state, local and tribal leaders, the private sector, non–governmental organizations, faith based and community organizations–and most importantly the general public – is vital to keeping people and communities safe and preventing the loss of life and property when disasters strike. http://www.fema.gov/learn-about-presidential-policy-directive-8
