National Preparedness Goal (NPG)

The National Preparedness Goal (NPG) is a framework established by the U.S. government to enhance the nation's ability to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from various threats and hazards, including natural disasters and terrorist attacks. It outlines essential capabilities that communities should develop to ensure safety and resilience. The goal encourages collaboration among federal, state, local, tribal, and private sectors to create a unified approach to preparedness, fostering a culture of readiness and encouraging proactive planning and actions to effectively handle emergencies when they arise.
