National Preparedness Goal

The National Preparedness Goal is a framework established by the U.S. government to enhance the country’s ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from disasters and emergencies. It sets the standard for how communities, states, and the federal government can work together to ensure readiness for various threats, including natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and public health emergencies. The goal emphasizes building a culture of preparedness, encouraging collaboration across different sectors, and improving resources and training to protect lives and property more effectively. Essentially, it aims to ensure that everyone is better equipped to handle crises.
