National Preparedness System

The National Preparedness System is a framework used by the United States government to ensure communities are ready for and can effectively respond to emergencies and disasters. It involves planning, training, conducting exercises, and building resources to protect lives and property. This system aims to enhance collaboration between federal, state, and local agencies, as well as private organizations and citizens, to create a unified approach to preparedness. By establishing guidelines and strategies, the system helps to identify risks, coordinate response efforts, and improve recovery processes after incidents, ultimately fostering a resilient society.
