preparations for a possible pandemic illustrate the 21st century challenges the Nation faces. To meet these challenges, we must understand performance requirements for a major event at the task level and build and maintain the capabilities to perform those tasks. Preparedness for major events involves all levels of government, the private sector, non-government organizations, and citizens. In December, 2003, the President issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-8 to establish national policy to strengthen the preparedness of the United States to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. HSPD-8 required the development of the National Preparedness Guidelines (the Guidelines). The Guidelines define what it means for the Nation to be prepared by providing a vision for preparedness, establishing national priorities, and identifying target capabilities. The Guidelines adopt a Capabilities-Based Planning process supported by three planning tools: the National Planning Scenarios, Target Capabilities List (TCL), and Universal Task List (UTL). They can be viewed online at https://odp.esportals.com or https://www.llis.dhs.gov. The Target Capabilities List describes the capabilities related to the four homeland security mission areas: Prevent, Protect, Respond, and Recover. It defines and provides the basis for assessing preparedness. It also establishes national guidance for preparing the Nation for major all-hazards events, such as those defined by the National Planning Scenarios. The current version of the TCL contains 37 core capabilities. A “Consensus of the Community” approach was used to develop the Target Capabilities List. Stakeholders from Federal, State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations came together in four national workshops and capability working groups to define the capabilities. The Guidelines will serve as a framework to guide operational readiness planning, priority-setting, and program implementation at all levels of government. The Guidelines provide a call to action by all Americans as they consider their personal and shared responsibility to be part of A Nation Prepared. The Target Capabilities List provides guidance on building and maintaining capabilities that support the Guidelines. Michael Chertoff Secretary Department of Homeland Security Target Capabilities List This page intentionally left blank Target Capabilities List EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The President and Congress directed creation of a fully integrated, adaptable, all-hazards national preparedness system. The National Preparedness Guidelines (The Guidelines) and Target Capabilities List (TCL) establish the system’s all-hazards framework. The Guidelines provide the vision and establishes national priorities. The TCL is a national-level, generic model of operationally ready capabilities defining all-hazards preparedness. Users should refer to the TCL to assess capabilities, identify needs, and inform plans and strategies taking into account their risk. It is important to understand that the TCL serves as a reference document and planning guide to preparedness and in no way serves as a prescription for program or resource requirements. The vision for the National Preparedness Guidelines is: A NATION PREPARED with coordinated capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from all hazards in a way that balances risk with resources and need. The Guidelines establish the following priorities to meet the Nation’s most urgent needs and adopt a Capabilities-Based Planning process to define and build the capabilities to achieve the Guidelines: • Expand regional collaboration • Implement the National Incident Management System and the National Response Plan • Implement the National Infrastructure Protection Plan • Strengthen information sharing and collaboration capabilities • Strengthen communications capabilities • Strengthen CBRNE detection, response, and decontamination capabilities • Strengthen medical surge and mass prophylaxis capabilities • Strengthen planning and citizen preparedness capabilities The Target Capabilities List provides a guide to addressing the priorities and achieving the National Preparedness Guidelines. Capabilities provide the means to accomplish a mission and achieve desired outcomes by performing critical tasks, under specified conditions, to target levels of performance. Capabilities are delivered by appropriate combinations of planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises. The TCL supports an all-hazards approach to building capabilities that may be needed in the event of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, health emergencies, and other major events. It identifies 37 capabilities that were developed with the active participation of stakeholders representing all levels of government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. Consensus of the Community Approach: Stakeholder Involvement The Guidelines and TCL were developed with an unprecedented level of stakeholder involvement. The Department of Homeland Security adopted a “consensus of the community” approach, eliciting the active involvement of local, State, and Federal agencies, over 120 national associations, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector. Stakeholders participated through national stakeholder workshops, working groups, and broad national reviews. Target Capabilities List The Approach to Defining Capabilities The capabilities are derived from a threat and mission analysis. The first step in defining capabilities is to answer the question “How prepared do we need to be?” The analysis, using the 15 National Planning Scenarios, illustrates the range, scope, magnitude, and complexity of representative major events, including terrorism, natural disasters, and other emergencies for which the Nation should prepare. Mission analysis provides an overview of all the major functions related to achievement of the four missions. It ensures that preparedness activities are focused on mission achievement. The National Planning Scenarios serve as the basis for defining tasks that may be required to successfully prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from a wide range of threats and hazards, as well as the capabilities needed to perform the tasks. The Universal Task List (UTL) is the catalogue of tasks that may need to be performed by governmental, non-governmental, and private-sector organizations, and the general public. No single jurisdiction or agency is expected to perform every task identified and no two jurisdictions require the same level of capabilities. In addition, Federal priorities and supporting program referenced herein are subject to change in response to an evolving threat environment and competition for scare resources. In practice, subsets of tasks will be selected based on specific roles, missions, and functions, and the appropriate level of capabilities will depend upon risk and need. The TCL provides a guide for development of a national network of capabilities that will be available when and where they are needed to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major events. These capabilities define all-hazards preparedness and provide the basis for assessing preparedness and improving decisions related to preparedness investments and strategies. Target Capabilities The TCL comprises 37 capabilities which are listed in the chart on the next page. They address response capabilities, immediate recovery, selected prevention and protection mission capabilities, as well as common capabilities such as planning and communications that support all missions. For these capabilities, local jurisdictions and States are the lead in conjunction with Federal and private sector support. A Capability Summary has been developed for each capability to describe and provide guidance on the major capability components. Each Capability Summary contains the following elements: a definition and outcome, preparedness and performance tasks and measure, resource elements, target preparedness levels, and identified responsibility for building and maintaining the capability. Target Capabilities List Phase I Capabilities (Included in this version of the TCL) Common Capabilities Planning Communications Community Preparedness and Participation Risk Management Intelligence and Information Sharing and Dissemination Prevent Mission Capabilities Information Gathering and Recognition of Indicators and Warning Intelligence Analysis and Production Counter-Terror Investigation and Law Enforcement CBRNE Detection Protect Mission Capabilities Critical Infrastructure Protection Food and Agriculture Safety and Defense Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation Laboratory Testing Respond Mission Capabilities On-Site Incident Management Emergency Operations Center Management Critical Resource Logistics and Distribution Using the Target Capabilities List Volunteer Management and Donations Responder Safety and Health Emergency Public Safety and Security Animal Disease Emergency Support Environmental Health Explosive Device Response Operations Fire Incident Response Support WMD and Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place Isolation and Quarantine Search and Rescue (Land-Based) Emergency Public Information and Warning Emergency Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment Medical Surge Medical Supplies Management and Distribution Mass Prophylaxis Mass Care (Sheltering, Feeding and Related Services) Fatality Management Recover Mission Capabilities Structural Damage Assessment Restoration of Lifelines Economic and Community Recovery The Target Capabilities List is a reference document that describes the capabilities for achieving national preparedness. It also serves as a planning, assessment, and training tool. Various implementation tools are being developed from the TCL to help decision-makers and managers at all levels to define their preparedness requirements and assess levels of preparedness. Some uses are briefly described below: • Risk Assessment: The determination of risk includes identification and characterization of threats, their consequences, and our vulnerabilities. While each is important for capabilities-based planning and national preparedness, determinations of vulnerability are important since they include not only exposure and sensitivity, but resilience. Resilience is key since it refers to our coping capacity to absorb events, adapt, respond to, and recover from its effects. Target Capabilities List • Planning: The TCL includes a Planning Capability designed to establish and maintain the ability to develop, update, and test plans. In addition, each capability contains both preparedness and performance tasks and measures that support the capability outcome and serve as a guide for preparedness planning. The preparedness tasks and measures describe major elements or issues that should be addressed in plans, procedures, and systems, as well as authorities, relationships, and agreements that need to be in place to prepare to use the capability. The performance tasks and measures also inform the planning process. • Strategy Development and Investment Justifications: The common framework provided by the Guidelines, priorities, and capabilities serve as a guide to enhance homeland security strategies and investment justifications at all levels. • Assessment of Preparedness: The TCL provides a basis for assessing preparedness to help jurisdictions and agencies to plan strategically, design appropriate programs that meet proven needs, and evaluate the effectiveness of investments over time. • Focus Training on Task Performance: Training programs should be modified as appropriate to ensure that they provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the critical tasks defined by the TCL to a proficiency level sufficient to achieve the capability outcomes. • Test Capabilities through Exercises: Exercises provide a means to test and validate preparedness. The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) is designed to encourage a common exercise design, conduct, and evaluation methodology across all levels of government and the private sector. HSEEP exercises are designed and evaluated to demonstrate capability levels through the assessment of performance of critical tasks and achievement of outcomes, as defined by the TCL. The TCL Going Forward The TCL is a living document. It was designed to be enhanced and refined over time as we gain lessons from its application or real world experience. Recommendations for changes to the TCL are welcome and will be reviewed and integrated into future versions of the TCL, as appropriate. A change request form is posted on www.LLIS.gov. Target Capabilities List INTRODUCTION Overview The President and Congress directed creation of a fully integrated, adaptable, all-hazards national preparedness system. The National Preparedness Guidelines (The Guidelines) and Target Capabilities List (TCL) establish the system’s all-hazards framework. The Guidelines provide the vision and establishes national priorities. The TCL is a national-level, generic model of operationally ready capabilities defining all-hazards preparedness. Users should refer to the TCL to assess capabilities, identify needs, and inform plans and strategies taking into account their risk. The vision for the National Preparedness Guidelines is: A NATION PREPARED with coordinated capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from all hazards in a way that balances risk with resources. The Guidelines establish the following priorities to meet the Nation’s most urgent needs and adopt a capabilities-based planning approach to define and build the capabilities critical to achieve the Guidelines: • Expand regional collaboration • Implement the National Incident Management System and the National Response Plan • Implement the National Infrastructure Protection Plan • Strengthen information sharing and collaboration capabilities • Strengthen communications capabilities • Strengthen CBRNE detection, response, and decontamination capabilities • Strengthen medical surge and mass prophylaxis capabilities • Strengthen planning and citizen preparedness capabilities The Target Capabilities List provides a guide to addressing the priorities and achieving the National Preparedness Guidelines. Capabilities provide the means to accomplish a mission and achieve desired outcomes by performing critical tasks, under specified conditions, to target levels of performance. The conditions under which the tasks must be performed are defined by a set of National Planning Scenarios. Capabilities are delivered by appropriate combinations of planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises. The TCL supports an all-hazards approach to building interchangeable, flexible capabilities needed to address a broad range of incidents to include: terrorist attacks, natural disasters, health emergencies, and other major incidents. It currently identifies 37 capabilities that were developed with the active participation of stakeholders representing all levels of government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. Each capability includes a definition; outcome; preparedness and performance activities, tasks, and measures. The TCL also identifies the role of governmental and non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and citizens in building and maintaining capabilities. By doing so, it provides a basis for assessing preparedness and for setting priorities for the effective use of limited resources. The TCL serves as a valuable tool for guiding preparedness activities to include: planning, establishment of training requirements, and evaluation of performance through exercises and operations. Although the TCL should inform resource priorities at all levels, it does not imply a commitment of Federal funding. Target Capabilities List 2 Target Capabilities List Assumptions for Major Events .. May occur at any time with little or no warning .. Require significant information-sharing at the unclassified and classified levels across multiple jurisdictions and between the public and private sectors .. Involve single or multiple geographic areas .. May have significant international impact and/or require significant international information sharing, resource coordination, and/or assistance .. Can span the spectrum of incident management to include prevention, protection, response, and recovery .. Involve multiple, highly varied hazards or threats .. May result in numerous casualties; fatalities; displaced people; property loss; disruption of normal life support systems, essential public services, and basic infrastructure; and significant damage to the environment .. Impact critical infrastructure across sectors .. Overwhelm capabilities of State, local, and Tribal governments, and private-sector infrastructure owners and operators .. Attract an influx of spontaneous volunteers and supplies .. May require short-notice asset coordination and response .. May require prolonged, sustained incident management activities Note: The assumptions for major events mirror those for Catastrophic events found in the National Response Plan The Underlying Assumption: Major Events Require Partnerships The planning assumptions for major events which were used to develop the TCL are found in the National Response Plan (NRP), which recognizes that such events will typically be managed at the lowest possible geographic, organizational, and jurisdictional level using the principles in the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The Catastrophic Incident Supplement to the NRP establishes a strategy for accelerating the delivery and application of Federal and Federally accessible resources and capabilities in support of a jurisdictional response to a no-notice or short-notice catastrophic mass victim/mass evacuation incident. Nonetheless, the scope of major events demands that the combined expertise and capabilities of government, private sector, and nongovernmental organizations be brought to bear as the Nation addresses the homeland security missions. Consensus of the Community Approach: Stakeholder Involvement The Target Capabilities List was developed with an unprecedented level of stakeholder involvement. The Department of Homeland Security adopted a “consensus of the community” approach, eliciting the active involvement of local, State, and Federal agencies, over 120 national associations, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. Stakeholders participated through national stakeholder workshops, working groups, and broad national reviews. The Approach to Defining Capabilities The National Preparedness Guidelines identify three fundamental questions that must be addressed to achieve a Nation prepared. How prepared do we need to be? How prepared are we? How do we prioritize efforts to close the difference? To answer these questions, we must first determine what threats we face and what we need to do to achieve the homeland security missions to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from those threats. We then need to determine what tasks need to be performed, how well they need to be performed, and the capabilities needed to perform the tasks to the appropriate level of performance. The graphic below illustrates the process used to develop the Target Capabilities List which helps us answer these three questions. Capabilities Development Process and Tools PROCESS National Planning Scenarios Homeland Security Taxonomy Universal Task List Target Capabilities List ThreatThreat AnalysisAnalysis MissionMission AreaArea AnalysisAnalysis TaskTask AnalysisAnalysis CapabilitiesCapabilities DevelopmentDevelopment TOOLS Starting Point: Threat Analysis The capabilities are derived from a threat and mission analysis. The first step in defining capabilities is to answer the question “How prepared do we need to be?” The analysis, using the 15 National Planning Scenarios, illustrates the range, scope, magnitude, and complexity of representative major incidents, including terrorism, natural disasters, and other emergencies for which the Nation should prepare. Mission analysis provides an overview of all the major functions related to achievement of the four missions. It ensures that preparedness activities are focused on mission achievement.

Food Contamination 14. Foreign Animal Disease 15. Major Cyber Attack Terrorism scenarios dominate because the U.S. has had less experience with terrorist events than with natural disasters. A preponderance of terrorist scenarios compensates for less operational experience with these types of events. Focus on Achievement of Mission A mission area analysis was also conducted to identify the major functions related to achievement of the four missions. It helps to ensure that all preparedness activities are focused on mission success. A mission area analysis was conducted through a review of official documents and doctrine to identify the objectives and functional areas for each of the Homeland Security Missions. This included a review of the Homeland Security Strategy, legislation, the Presidential Directives, and related doctrine. The result is the all-hazards taxonomy, which shows the alignment of all homeland security activities toward mission achievement. The taxonomy is shown on the next page. Task Analysis The National Planning Scenarios serve as the basis for defining the tasks that may be required to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from a wide range of threats and hazards, as well as the capabilities necessary to perform the tasks. The Universal Task List (UTL) is the catalogue of tasks that may need to be performed by governmental, non-governmental, and private-sector organizations, and the general public. During a major event the number of people performing a task may need to increase and may be performed by a combination of local agencies as well as teams from other jurisdictions, levels of government, or the private sector. The UTL does not identify who will perform the task or how it should be performed. That is left to the State, local, tribal, and territorial implementing agencies. No single jurisdiction or agency is expected to perform every task. Rather, subsets of tasks will be selected based on specific roles, missions, and functions. The current version of the UTL is a catalogue of nearly 4,800 tasks across the four mission areas. Target Capabilities The TCL provides a guide for developing a national network of capabilities that will be available when and where they are needed to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major events. These capabilities define all-hazards preparedness and provide the basis for assessing preparedness and improving decisions related to preparedness investments and strategies. They establish planning tools for preparing the Nation for major all-hazards events such as those represented by the National Planning Scenarios. The capabilities assume that local jurisdictions have an operational level of capabilities to address most routine emergencies and disasters. For example, the TCL does not address capabilities for routine firefighting or law enforcement services, or seasonal flooding. Instead, the TCL addresses capabilities- based preparedness to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorism, very large-scale disasters, pandemic health emergencies, or other major incidents. Establishing plans, procedures, systems, interagency relationships, training and exercise programs, and mutual aid agreements required for major events will enhance performance for all hazard response. Target Capabilities List 6 Target Capabilities List Key Components of the Target Capabilities List The TCL currently comprises 37 capabilities which are listed in the chart on the next page. They address preparedness for response capabilities, immediate recovery, selected prevention and protection mission capabilities, as well as common capabilities such as planning and communications that support all missions. For these capabilities, local jurisdictions and States are the lead in conjunction with appropriate Federal and private sector support. A Capability Summary has been developed for each capability to describe and provide guidance on the major capability components. Definition, Outcome, NRP Relationship Each capability summary begins with a definition of the capability, and follows with an outcome statement that describes the expected results or effect to be achieved. The next section identifies the relationship of the capability to the emergency support function(s) described in the National Response Plan. Preparedness Activities, Critical Tasks, Measures, and Metrics Each capability includes a description of the major activities performed with the capability and the critical tasks and measures associated with the activity. They include both preparedness and performance activities, tasks, and measures. Preparedness activities and tasks are those things that should be done prior to the demand for the capability. Development of plans, procedures, protocols, and systems; establishment of mutual aid agreements and authorities; provision of training; and the conduct of exercises are all examples of preparedness tasks. Critical tasks are tasks that are essential to achieving the desired outcome and to the success of a homeland security mission. The critical tasks are derived from the tasks found in the Universal Task List. Capability Summaries Include .. Definition .. Outcome .. Relationship to NRP Emergency Support Function (ESF)/Annex ..

An Activity Process Flow Map shows the major activities that are performed with the capability and how the capability links to other capabilities. Performance measures are quantitative or qualitative levels against which achievement of a task or capability outcome can be assessed. They describe how much, how well, or how quickly an action should be performed and are typically expressed in ways that can be observed during an exercise or real event. The measures and metrics are not standards. They serve as guides and evaluation tools for planning, training, and exercise activities. However, nationally accepted standards of performance, benchmarks, and guidelines are reflected, if applicable. Sample Preparedness and Performance Measures and Metrics Example from Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-In-Place Capability Preparedness Measure Metric Plans addressing authority and decision-making processes for shelterin- place and/or evacuation are in place Yes/No Populations that may need assistance with evacuation/shelter-in-place have been identified Yes/No Plans to provide adequate services (e.g., gas, food, water, tow trucks, emergency medical services, etc.) along evacuation routes are in place Yes/No Performance Measure Metric Time in which affected population is notified of shelter-in-place order Within 15 minutes from order to shelterin- place Time in which the evacuation of the affected general population for an event with advanced warning is completed Within 72 hours from the order to evacuate Evacuation staging/reception areas in the affected area are coordinated with necessary sites and assisting agencies Yes/No Capability Elements A capability is provided with proper planning, organization, training, equipment, and exercises. The capability elements define the resources needed to perform the critical tasks to the specified levels of performance, with the recognition that there is rarely a single combination of capability elements that must be used to achieve a capability. Where applicable, NIMS Resource Typing Definitions were used to define resource organizations or packages. Resource typing is the categorization and description of response resources that are commonly exchanged in disasters through mutual aid agreements. Use of these standard definitions enables emergency management personnel to identify, locate, request, order, and track outside resources quickly and effectively and facilitate the response of these resources to the requesting jurisdiction. Additional resources are being typed and personnel positions are being credentialed by the NIMS Integration Center. Consistent with NIMS, the capability elements include personnel; planning; organization and leadership; Target Capabilities List equipment and systems; training; and exercises, evaluations, and corrective actions, as shown in the chart below. The Capability Elements serve as a guide for identifying and prioritizing investments when working to establish a capability. Further, existing programs and activities represented as Capability Elements have been included for reference purposes only, and are subject to change in response to an evolving threat environment and competition for scarce resources. Capability Elements Planning Organization and Leadership Collection and analysis of intelligence and information, and development of policies, plans, procedures, mutual aid agreements, strategies, and other publications that comply with relevant laws, regulations, and guidance necessary to perform assigned missions and tasks. Individual teams, an overall organizational structure, and leadership at each level in the structure that comply with relevant laws, regulations, and guidance necessary to perform assigned missions and tasks. Personnel Paid and volunteer staff who meet relevant qualification and certification standards necessary to perform assigned missions and tasks. Equipment and Systems Major items of equipment, supplies, facilities, and systems that comply with relevant standards necessary to perform assigned missions and tasks. Training Exercises, Evaluations, and Corrective Actions Content and methods of delivery that comply with relevant training standards necessary to perform assigned missions and tasks. Exercises, self-assessments, peer-assessments, outside review, compliance monitoring, and actual major events that provide opportunities to demonstrate, evaluate, and improve the combined capability and interoperability of the other elements to perform assigned missions and tasks to standards necessary to achieve successful outcomes. Planning Assumptions and Planning Factors The Capability Working Groups developed planning assumptions to fill in data or details not provided by the National Planning Scenarios. Some apply to any scenario; others are scenario-specific. They also developed specific planning factors, which indicate estimates of the quantity of the capability elements that address the demand for the capability defined by the scenario(s). Target Capability Preparedness Levels Because major events can exceed the normal operating capacity of any single jurisdiction, a collaborative, national approach should be used to plan and prepare for major events. Target preparedness levels represent suggested levels of capability that may be needed to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major events that demand a multi-level, multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary response. Stakeholder working groups suggested Target Capability preparedness levels based on an analysis of the circumstances and consequences described in the National Planning Scenarios and the planning factors. They were instructed not to let their knowledge of current resources limit their thinking about requirements needed for major events and therefore these levels should be considered in the context of broader resource constraints and regional priorities. The Target Capability levels take into account Target Capabilities List 10 Target Capabilities List National Preparedness Levels for Capabilities .. The Target Capability preparedness levels estimate what may be needed should major events exceed the capacity of any single jurisdiction. .. Responsibility for meeting Target Capability preparedness levels can be shared across government and non-government entities. .. Many of the resource estimates are not standing requirements – they would be assembled when and where they are needed. .. Assessments of current capabilities against target levels can provide an indication of relative preparedness. adjustments to normal operating procedures that may need to be made during major events based on the circumstances. Such adjustments may include altering performance standards, drawing resources from many sources, making creative use of existing resources or relying on non-traditional resources (e.g., volunteers). Assignment of Roles in Achieving Target Capability Preparedness Levels The TCL identifies the role of governments, nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, and citizens in achieving the target levels. The assignment is based on the assumption that no single jurisdiction is likely to have all capabilities at sufficient levels to fully address its needs if faced with a major event. Some jurisdictions will possess the capability while others will access it through mutual aid, if needed. During a major event, all jurisdictions regardless of size may call on support from other available public and private sources appropriate to the scale of the event. Stakeholder working groups analyzed the elements of each capability by criticality, risk, and demand to make recommendations regarding the assignment of roles and responsibilities and the distribution of the capability across the country. The Target Capability Preparedness Levels represent ideal states of preparedness by capability for the purposes of a common planning and measurement framework. However, actual preparedness investment planning will combine this framework with both risk analysis as well as appropriate resource prioritization on a regional basis. Further, the assignments of roles and responsibilities are neither mandates nor statements of Federal policy. These portions of the TCL serve as a guide for planning and measuring appropriate levels of preparedness and regional coordination. Risk Factors Considered in Preparedness Planning Risk is a combination of credible threat, vulnerability, and consequence. Risk factors that affect capability need and placement include: population and population density, the presence of critical infrastructure and key resources, location in high terrorist threat or high risk natural disaster areas, and capabilities to prevent, protect against, or mitigate a threat. The relative importance of these risk factors in determining where or how much of a capability is needed varies by capability, as described below. Population and Population Density Population and/or population density are determining factors for the assignment of many of the capabilities. For example, the target levels and distribution of capabilities such as WMD Response and Decontamination, Medical Surge, Mass Prophylaxis, and Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-In-Place capabilities are directly related to population. Population density is a key factor in determining the location of some capability resources, such as those for the Fire Incident Response Support and Explosive Device Response Operations capabilities. The type and amount of resources needed are generally different in high population, high-density areas than in less densely populated areas. For example, Type I Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Task Forces, which can extricate victims from heavy construction, are assigned to urban areas with high-rise buildings. Collapse Search and Rescue Teams and Heavy Rescue Strike Teams and Squads may be more appropriate in less urban areas. However, the Type I USAR Task Forces, if located in large metropolitan areas, could be made available for deployment to jurisdictions in other geographic areas. Critical Infrastructure Many jurisdictions or geographic areas across the country have critical infrastructure or key resources (CI/KR) that need to be considered in the determination of risk and distribution of capabilities. Because the capabilities in the current TCL are more focused on response activities and the presence of critical infrastructure and key resources are so widely distributed, this was less of a discriminating factor than population. Credible Threat Capability-Based Planning allows the flexibility to adjust capabilities or target levels to account for elevations or reductions in credible threat. In addition, a jurisdiction may have capability requirements disproportionate to its population and critical infrastructure based on its terrorist threat level or its location. The TCL as a Tool for Expanded Regional Collaboration Expanded Regional Collaboration is identified as the first priority in the National Preparedness Guidelines in recognition that large scale events may require a shared response across jurisdictions, levels of government, and the public/private sectors depending on the scale of the event. States are encouraged to define geographic areas or regions, in consultation with local and tribal governments that share risk and responsibility for a major event. The expanded region facilitates the strengthening of relationships among participants, regional preparedness planning and operations support, and joint implementation of a capabilities-based approach. Regions may be intra- or inter-State geographic areas, as appropriate, based on shared risk and the need for joint planning and operations. Standardization of geographic regions will enable the States, working with local and tribal government and other partners, to coordinate preparedness activities more effectively, spread costs, pool resources, share risk, and thereby increase the overall return on investment. The Guidelines also encourage the establishment of multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary working groups consisting of representatives from the entities located within the region. Through joint planning, the region will determine how best to achieve the capabilities, decide where the capabilities should be built and maintained, and establish priorities for the use of limited resources. The working groups will use the TCL as the basis to identify needed capabilities; assess current capability levels and gaps; identify, analyze, and choose options; update strategies and plans; and assess preparedness. The capability needs for a region may be informed by utilizing the Target Capabilities Preparedness Levels as a guide for the jurisdictions within the region. For example, based on its jurisdictions, a region may require access to one Type I Urban Search and Rescue Task Force, three Type II Collapse Search and Rescue Teams, and so forth. Through a collaborative, regional planning approach, the jurisdictions within the region will determine the most effective distribution and sharing of capability resources to ensure that they are available when and where they are needed and that all of the jurisdictions within the region have or have access to them as needed. Target Capabilities List Capability elements to perform critical tasks are associated with performance measures and metrics. Some capabilities are universal, such as Planning or Communications. For other capabilities, the resource target levels are directly related to size of the population. Teams with different levels of capability (e.g., Level I, II, and III Bomb Squads) are assigned to appropriate levels of government or local jurisdictions based on demand for the capability. Specialized teams or resources are generally assigned to larger jurisdictions where there is a greater demand for the resource and where a team with sufficient trained personnel has the opportunity to maintain proficiency through calls-for-service. Teams with more limited capabilities that require less personnel and equipment are assigned to smaller jurisdictions where they provide an immediate response and can request assistance from specialized teams, if needed. The performance measures and metrics for each capability define how quickly and how effectively critical tasks should be performed. Criticality (i.e., how quickly a specific capability is needed to prevent an incident, save lives, prevent suffering, or reduce major damage) is an important consideration in determining where a capability is needed. For example, decontamination of victims of a chemical attack must typically take place within a certain period of time in order to save lives. Therefore, the Target Capability preparedness level for this capability does not vary by location, but would still vary by the likelihood of the event. For example, the likelihood of an event requiring decontamination is often significantly lower in a rural setting. Since the time to act is very short, the likelihood that a jurisdiction could have an attack or an accidental release of toxic chemicals should impact its decision to either develop a decontamination capability or secure timely access to it. For some other capabilities, performance requirements may vary across jurisdictions. For example, the ideal time for a bomb squad to arrive on-scene may be much shorter in a densely populated urban area than in a less populated area, where evacuation of an area may be the initial response. Using the Target Capabilities List The Target Capabilities List should be viewed as a reference document or guide to preparedness. It should not serve as a prescription for program requirements or resource commitments. Most users will not use the TCL document directly and/or may only use one or a subset of capabilities that are relevant to them. They will use those portions of the TCL that are relevant to them or to their specific application through the TCL implementation tools. For example, the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) uses the TCL as the basis for designing, conducting, and evaluating exercises. HSEEP pulls from the performance tasks and measures section of the capabilities. Through the exercise design process, the planners determine which of the capabilities to test during the exercise. A single exercise would not attempt to address all the capabilities. The National Preparedness Guidelines and the Target Capabilities List provide the framework for preparedness and support the implementation of the Preparedness Cycle. As illustrated below, the cycle takes the user through a series of preparedness activities from conducting risk and capabilities assessments, strategy development, planning, identification and filling of resources gaps, training, exercises, and implementation of corrective actions. Various implementation tools are being developed from the TCL to help decision-makers and managers at all levels to define their preparedness needs, build needed capabilities, and assess levels of preparedness. In addition, DHS is developing a Guide to Using the Target Capabilities List: A Framework for Preparedness that will provide additional guidance on how to use the TCL throughout the steps in the preparedness cycle. Target Capabilities List Target Capabilities List 13 Preparedness Cycle Conduct Capabilities Assessment Develop Strategy Identify/Purchase Equipment Develop Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan and Schedule Conduct Risk Assessment Plan and Resource Programs Conduct Training Conduct Exercises to Validate Training and Plans Assign Corrective Actions resulting from Exercise Evaluation and Improvement Plans Track/Implement Corrective Actions Update Capabilities Assessment/ Strategy/Multi-year Plans Risk Assessment The determination of risk includes identification and characterization of threats and hazards, their consequences, and our vulnerabilities. While each is important for capabilities-based planning and national preparedness, determinations of vulnerability are important since they include not only exposure and sensitivity, but resilience. Resilience is key since it refers to our coping capacity to absorb events, adapt, and respond to and recover from its effects. The completion of a risk assessment, the first step in the preparedness cycle, helps us understand the types of threats and hazards we face. The National Planning Scenarios help us define the range and scope of incidents for which we must prepare. They were used in the development of the capabilities to define the critical tasks, the measures and metrics, and the resources to perform the tasks to the desired level of performance. The TCL is designed to provide the nation with the network of flexible and adaptive capabilities across the country to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from incidents similar to those described in the National Planning Scenarios or other scenarios. Planners and officials at all levels will assess and determine their greatest risks within this framework to inform planning efforts and to establish priorities for addressing resource gaps, training, and exercises. Preparedness Planning The President called for a Nationwide Plan Review that assessed the status of catastrophic planning for States and 75 of the Nation’s largest urban areas. It showed that the current status of plans and planning is not adequate for the 21st century homeland security challenges. The report identified the need for a significant increase in collaboration, plan specificity, and resource management. The Nationwide Plan Review Report concluded that: • Planning products, processes, tools, and technologies should be developed to facilitate a common nationwide approach to catastrophic planning. • Critical tasks, target capabilities, and associated performance measures, such as those identified in the National Preparedness Guidelines should serve as the common reference system • Regional planning capabilities, processes, and resources should be strengthened in accordance with the National Preparedness Guidelines’ national priorities to expand regional collaboration and strengthen Planning and Citizen Preparedness Capabilities. The TCL includes a Planning Capability designed to establish and maintain a capacity at all levels to develop, update, and test preparedness plans. In addition, each capability contains both preparedness and performance tasks and measures that support the capability outcome and serve as a guide for preparedness planning. Further, Capabilities-Based Planning accounts for uncertainties, by developing capabilities suitable for a wide range of threats and hazards, when limited resources necessitate prioritization and choice among preparedness efforts. As entities at all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector review and enhance their plans, procedures, and protocols, the TCL provides a valuable reference to ensure that they have identified the tasks and resources and built the capabilities necessary to assure preparedness. The TCL can be used as a guide to identify roles and responsibilities and the need for mutual aid agreements to facilitate the sharing of capabilities across the region to provide all jurisdictions with access to needed capabilities. Strategy Development and Investment Justifications States and urban areas have developed Homeland Security Strategies that provide a blueprint for comprehensive, enterprise-wide planning for homeland security efforts. They also provide a strategic plan for the use of Federal, State, local, and private resources to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist threats or attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. In the summer of 2005, States and urban areas updated their strategies to align their preparedness efforts to the National Preparedness Guidelines, the National Priorities established in the Guidelines, and the Target Capabilities. Beginning with FY2006 applications for the State and local Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), investment justifications must demonstrate a linkage to Target Capabilities as well as outline the anticipated impact, including how State and local capabilities will be enhanced. Guidance Grant guidance and application kits from DHS and other Federal agencies inform strategy development and investment justifications. Assessment of Preparedness The TCL provides a basis for assessing preparedness. The vision for the National Preparedness Guidelines is for a “Nation Prepared”. The National Planning Scenarios and the TCL provide a common perspective to conduct assessments to determine levels of readiness to perform the critical tasks and to identify and address any gaps or deficiencies. Assessment information should inform decisions at all levels. Policymakers need regular reports on the status of the capabilities for which they have responsibility to help them make better resource and Target Capabilities List investment decisions and to establish priorities. Emergency managers and planners require assessment information to help them address deficiencies, to identify alternative sources of capabilities (e.g., from mutual aid or contracts with the private sector), and to identify which capabilities should be tested through exercises. Assessment information is also needed by agencies or organizations that are expected to supplement or provide capabilities during an incident. Assessments also provide the provider agencies/organization with information required to set priorities, make investment decisions, and position capabilities or resources, if needed. Tools A Capabilities Assessment Pilot is being implemented by DHS to test and validate the effectiveness of the preparedness and performance measures and metrics in the TCL as a means of measuring preparedness. The pilot assessment consists of three stages: self assessment, on-site validation, and post assessment report and improvement. It looks at preparedness from a regional perspective, with a focus on regional planning, coordination, and sharing of capabilities. The National Preparedness System, described under planning, is being designed as a comprehensive planning and assessment tool that can be used assess capabilities across all levels of government. It will enable users to conduct a self assessment based on the TCL that takes into account validation information from exercises, on-site assessment validations, peer reviews, and monitoring. Focus Training on Ability to Perform Critical Tasks Training programs should be reviewed and modified as appropriate to ensure that they prepare participants to perform the critical tasks defined by the TCL to the proficiency level required to achieve the capability outcomes. States should develop Multi-year Training and Exercise Plans to build and assess capabilities. Each State should use a combination of information from capabilities assessments that identify gaps, the State Strategy that provides a plan to increase preparedness, and form improvement plans from completed exercises to develop the Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan. The plans should map out the training courses and exercises that will be conducted over the next 2-3 years. Subsequent training should focus on building the knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the critical tasks and should be completed prior to being tested through exercises. Test Capabilities through Exercises Exercises provide a means to test and validate preparedness. The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) is designed to encourage a common exercise design, performance, and evaluation methodology across all levels of government and the private sector. HSEEP exercises are designed and evaluated to demonstrate capability levels through the assessment of performance of critical tasks and achievement of outcomes, as defined by the TCL. The exercise design process includes the following steps: • Identify priority capabilities for improvement through exercises • Select corresponding tasks for assessment • Define exercise objectives based on capabilities, tasks, and jurisdiction needs • Create a jurisdiction-specific scenario formulated specifically to meet exercise objectives Target Capabilities List HSEEP includes common evaluation tools based on the critical tasks and measures from the TCL. The purpose of the evaluation approach is to encourage consistency and quality of data collection and information, support qualitative and quantitative exercise analysis and assessment, and increase usability. HSEEP also defines a standardized after action report (AAR) and improvement plan format. The AAR provides the assessment of performance of the tasks related to priority capabilities. The improvement plan is developed by the exercising entities and outlines specific actions and a timeline to enhance the capabilities. Tools and Guidance The HSEEP policy and doctrine is organized into several volumes: • HSEEP Volume I: HSEEP Overview and Exercise Program Management provides guidance for building and maintaining an effective exercise program and summarizes the planning and evaluation process described in further detail in Volumes II through V. • HSEEP Volume II: Exercise Planning and Conduct helps planners outline a standardized foundation, design, development, and conduct process adaptable to any type of exercise. • HSEEP Volume III: Exercise Evaluation and Improvement Planning offers proven methodology for evaluating and documenting exercises and implementing an improvement plan. • HSEEP Volume IV: Sample Exercise Documents and Formats provides sample exercise materials referenced in HSEEP Volumes I, II, III, and V. • HSEEP Volume V: Prevention Exercises contains guidance consistent with the HSEEP model to assist jurisdictions in designing and evaluating exercises that test pre-incident capabilities such as intelligence analysis and information sharing. Going Forward – Refinements to the TCL The TCL represents a major step forward in defining preparedness and capabilities. It was developed through the hard work of many hundreds of stakeholders from all disciplines, levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector. They were asked to set aside their jurisdictional or agency perspective and define capabilities for the Nation and the role that every jurisdiction, State, Federal agency, organization, and citizen will play in a shared response. Where standards and guidelines exist, they were used, but standards and guidelines do not exist for many of the capabilities. Therefore, much of the information in the TCL is based on the best judgment and expertise of those who were involved in the working groups and those who reviewed and commented on it. The TCL is a living document. It was designed to be enhanced and refined over time as we gain lessons from its application or real world experience. The best way to do that is to start using it and to identify and document where it needs to be changed. For example, are there critical tasks that need to be added or refined? Are the measures and metrics the best measures of performance? Do they need to be modified for different sized jurisdictions or for different scenarios? Are the capability resources adequate to perform the critical tasks to the appropriate level of performance? Will the targets and assignment of responsibility for building and maintaining the capabilities provide the network of capabilities that will be available when and where they are needed? If you see something in the TCL that does not work for your jurisdiction or agency, help to change it. Get involved. Submit information on what does not work with a recommendation on how the TCL should be changed or enhanced. Recommendations for changes to the TCL are welcome and will be reviewed and integrated into future versions of the TCL, as appropriate. A change request form is posted on Target Capabilities List www.LLIS.gov. A Nation Prepared is a goal that can only be achieved over time and with the involvement of those who work every day to secure the homeland from all threats, natural and man-made. Target Capabilities List This page intentionally left blank Target Capabilities List Common Target Capabilities Target Capabilities List This page intentionally left blank Target Capabilities List PLANNING Capability Definition Planning is the mechanism through which Federal, State, local and tribal governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the private sector develop, validate, and maintain plans, policies, and procedures describing how they will prioritize, coordinate, manage, and support personnel, information, equipment, and resources to prevent, protect and mitigate against, respond to, and recover from Catastrophic events. Preparedness plans are drafted by a litany of organizations, agencies, and/or departments at all levels of government and within the private sector. Preparedness plans are not limited to those plans drafted by emergency management planners. The planning capability sets forth many of the activities and tasks undertaken by an Emergency Management planner when drafting (or updating) emergency management (preparedness) plans. Unlike the other target capabilities, the attributes of planning are difficult to quantify, as individual planners may have considerably varied education and experience and still produce plans that lead to the successful implementation of a target capability. The focus of the Planning Capability is on successful achievement of a plan’s concept of operations using target capabilities and not the ability to plan as an end unto itself. Plans should be updated following major incidents and exercises to include lessons learned. The plans should form the basis of training and should be exercised periodically to ensure that responders are familiar with the plan and able to execute their assigned role. Thus, it is essential that plans reflect the preparedness cycle of plan, train, exercise, and incorporation of after action reviews and lessons learned. Outcome Plans incorporate an accurate threat analysis and risk assessment and ensure that capabilities required to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from all-hazards events are available when and where they are needed. Plans are vertically and horizontally integrated with appropriate departments, agencies, and jurisdictions. Where appropriate, emergency plans incorporate a mechanism for requesting State and Federal assistance and include a clearly delineated process for seeking and requesting assistance from appropriate agency(ies). Relationship to National Response Plan Emergency Support Function (ESF)/Annex Planning supports all Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) and Annexes (support and incident) at the Federal, State, local, territorial, and tribal levels.

PLANNING COMMON MISSION: PLANNING Resource Element Description Resource Elements Components and Description Planners Planners dedicated to developing and maintaining homeland security, emergency management, and/or all-hazards plans. Setting qualifications for planner should be established by the jurisdiction. Computer and planning software tools Includes computers with sufficient software tools to accomplish the specified tasks, such as geographic information system tools, decision modeling programs, relational databases, hazard modeling programs (i.e., computer-aided management of emergency operations [CAMEO], multihazard loss estimation methodology [HAZUS]) and consequence modeling tools. Required training program Training may include but is not limited to courses offered through Federal, State, local and private organizations, such as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Emergency Management Institute (EMI), Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP) Training Consortium, State training academies, and colleges and universities. Completion of one or more of the above may meet minimum requirements. Planning Assumptions . This capability applies to a wide range of incidents and emergencies including terrorist attacks, other manmade disasters, and natural disasters. It is intended to address deliberate planning coordination. . A catastrophic incident will present a dynamic response and recovery environment requiring that response plans and strategies be flexible enough to effectively address emerging or transforming needs and requirements. . A “dedicated planner” is one full-time equivalent (FTE) person whose work is focused exclusively (“dedicated”) on the development and maintenance of homeland security, emergency management, and/or all-hazards plans. . The human or physical resources identified in the response strategy may not be available for 24-48 hours of a catastrophic event due to jurisdiction-specific considerations of resource management in times of crisis(es) (e.g., resource needs at their home institutions, family requirements, overextension, limits established in MOAs, etc.). . A catastrophic incident may have significant international dimensions. These include potential impacts on the health and welfare of border community populations, cross-border trade, transit, law enforcement coordination, and other areas. . Planning occurs with respect to the incident (strategic, operational, and tactical/incident) and according to the appropriate jurisdictional level (Federal, State, local, tribal). . All operational personnel are trained on all appropriate plans and their role within those plans. . Plans are validated through review, testing and exercises. . Plans are written in accordance with NIMS. . Planners have knowledge, experience, and/or training in subject areas. . The planning process includes hazard analysis and risk assessment. . The UTL is a menu of tasks that can be used in developing plans-to-task development. 26 Target Capabilities List Target Capability Preparedness Level Resource Element Unit Type of Element Number of Units Unit Measure (number per x) Lead Capability Activity supported by Element Planner Personnel 1 Per every 250k population in each State State All Activities Planner Personnel 2 Per territory State All Activities Planner Personnel 2 Per UASI city and Washington, DC Local All Activities Required training program Training 1 Per planner Federal/State/ Local All Activities Computer and planning software tools Equipment 1 Per planner Federal/State/ Local All Activities References 1.

Agencies must be operable, meaning they must have sufficient wireless communications to meet their everyday internal and emergency communication requirements before they place value on being interoperable, i.e., able to work with other agencies. Communications interoperability is the ability of public safety agencies (police, fire, EMS) and service agencies (public works, transportation, hospitals, etc.) to talk within and across agencies and jurisdictions via radio and associated communications systems, exchanging voice, data and/or video with one another on demand, in real time, when needed, and when authorized. It is essential that public safety has the intra- agency operability it needs, and that it builds its systems toward interoperability. Outcome A continuous flow of critical information is maintained as needed among multi-jurisdictional and multidisciplinary emergency responders, command posts, agencies, and the governmental officials for the duration of the emergency response operation in compliance with National Incident Management System (NIMS). In order to accomplish that, the jurisdiction has a continuity of operations plan for public safety communications including the consideration of critical components, networks, support systems, personnel, and an appropriate level of redundant communications systems in the event of an emergency. Relationship to National Response Plan Emergency Support Function (ESF)/Annex This capability supports the following Emergency Support Functions (ESFs): Primary: ESF#2: Communications Communications supports all ESFs at the Federal, State, local, and tribal levels.

COMMON MISSION: COMMUNICATIONS COMMON MISSION: COMMUNICATIONS Resource Element Description Resource Elements Components and Description Interoperability Communications A plan for a designated area that includes governance, standard operating Plan procedures, technology, training and exercises, and usage. An Interoperability Communications Plan is created for each designated participant area prior to an incident Governance Group Organization of agencies and jurisdictions who have entered governance agreements (i.e., memorandum of understanding/memorandum of agreement [MOU/MOA]) to coordinate decision making across agencies and jurisdictions. Technology—System of Systems Operable communication systems for the disciplines and jurisdiction as defined by the local requirements that allows for mutual aid components to connect in when authorized and as necessary. System-of-systems consists of local, State, and Federal components that can be connected through common interface standards. Element includes the following processes: Needs assessment; Evaluate current capability; Develop requirements; Perform gap analysis; System alternatives (with costs and types); Phase-in implementation; Define spectrum needs; Define security/encryption needs; Develop future upgrade plan and budget process. Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance Program (ICTAP) Teams Technical assistance team that implements the ICTAP, a program designed to enhance interoperable communications among local, State, and Federal emergency responders and public safety officials, and is associated with the Department of Homeland Security Office of Grants and Training’s (G&T) Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program. Each team provides technical assistance in four phases: Phase 1: Define Technical Assistance Requirements; Phase 2: Define Enhancements Needed; Phase 3: Implementation; Phase 4: Continued services as needed until local support is in place Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and Public Safety Communications Center Continuity of Operations Plan Plan that provides ability to have redundant and back-up systems in place during an emergency Planning Assumptions . This capability reaches across all 15 National Planning Scenarios and within each capability. All major incidents require communication and interoperability to facilitate management of an incident. Therefore, the target level of interoperability is independent of a specific scenario. Interoperability is a support function for all other responder capabilities, so this mission-critical capability must be in place to ensure the personnel who are providing the other capabilities have access to the information they need to respond appropriately. . Interoperability is the communication between disciplines and jurisdictions that permits real time exchanges of information on demand, with whoever needs it, when properly authorized, in conformance with the Incident Command System. . Communications is the transmission of thoughts, messages, or information. The ability to communicate is critical to effective emergency response and is one of the most difficult tasks that must be performed during an incident or event. Effective communication during an emergency 38 Target Capabilities List requires a system that is both interoperable and redundant. The ability to transmit thoughts, messages, and information can be accomplished through a multitude of ways. In emergency response, the mechanisms that assist personnel in communications can vary, but are largely made up of wireless voice (radio), voice and data telephone (wireless and landline), wireless data, and internet voice/data. . Communications interoperability is the ability of multiple entities to intermingle meaningful transmission of thoughts, messages, or information while using similar or dissimilar communications systems. A redundant communications system is a duplication of communications systems that can be accessed by personnel for the purpose of responding to, and/or mitigating and recovering from an incident or event. . One of the major issues facing public safety and service agencies is the inability to communicate with one another when the need arises. Effective and efficient emergency response requires coordination, communication, and sharing of vital information among numerous public safety agencies. As the National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructures and Key Assets observes, “most systems supporting emergency response personnel have been specifically developed and implemented with respect to the unique needs of each agency.” . Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), Public Safety Communication Centers, and Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs) must be in place and competently operational with the resources, and operational integrity to perform during an incident. . Agencies must be “operable,” meaning they must have sufficient public safety and service agency communications capabilities to meet their everyday internal requirements before they place value on being “interoperable,” meaning being able to work with other disciplines and agencies. They need to improve those systems first but this improvement planning needs to include a vision for improved interoperability with other disciplines and agencies. At a time when more attention is being paid to interoperability among different disciplines and jurisdictions within the community, there still exists fundamental communication deficiencies within disciplines and jurisdictions as practitioners strive to perform the most routine and basic elements of their job functions. . These deficiencies result in daily communication challenges for those working on the front lines in public safety and service agencies. The Interoperability Continuum (see reference link below) outlines critical elements for the planning and implementation of successful public safety and service agencies’ communications and interoperability solutions. These elements include governance, standard operating procedures, technology, training and exercises, and usage of interoperable communications. To drive progress along the five elements of the continuum and improve interoperability, public safety and service agency practitioners should observe the following principles: . Gain leadership commitment from all public safety and services agencies. . Foster collaboration across all public safety and services agencies for planning and implementation. . Work with policy makers to gain leadership commitment and resource support for interoperability. . Plan and budget for ongoing updates to systems, procedures, and documentation. . Use interoperability solutions on a regular basis. . Interoperability is a support function for all other responder capabilities, so this mission critical capability must be in place to ensure the other capabilities have access to the information they need to respond. . Existing Continuity of Operations Plans (COOPs) for public safety and service agency communications systems are in place. COMMON MISSION: COMMUNICATIONS Target Capabilities List 39 COMMON MISSION: COMMUNICATIONS COMMON MISSION: COMMUNICATIONS . Individual agencies and jurisdictional systems must be operable and functioning before mutual aid can come in and connect to interoperate. . Spectrum management should be coordinated to allow adequate allocation across all disciplines and jurisdictions. . Critical infrastructure protective actions have been implemented to ensure communications systems remain operable.

Planning should include the ability to reconstitute normal communications systems that have been saturated, disrupted, or destroyed during an event. 40 Target Capabilities List Target Capability Preparedness Level Resource Element Unit Type of Element Number of Units Unit Measure (number per x) Lead Capability Activity supported by Element Interoperability Communications Plan Plan 1 Per State/Territory State All Activities Interoperability Communications Plan Plan 1 Per intrastate Region Local (Intrastate region) All Activities Interoperability Communications Plan Plan 1 Per UASI city Local (City) All Activities Governance Group Organization and Leadership 1 Per State State All Activities Governance group Organization and Leadership 1 Per intrastate Region Local (Intrastate region) All Activities Technology— System of Systems Resource Organization 1 Nationally Federal/State/ Local All Activities References 1.

The actions to perform Risk Management may well vary among government entities; however, the foundation of Risk Management is constant. Currently there are a variety of tools, processes, and offerings in practice and under development to serve the capability of Risk Management. As with the distribution of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan, the Department of Homeland Security has outlined core requirements for the management of risk, and will continue to serve this capability through additional technical assistance. As communities mature their Risk Management capability they are encouraged to look to DHS for continued guidance and updates to Threat information from the aforementioned Homeland Infrastructure Threat and Risk Analysis Center (HITRAC) office as well as guidance on the further development of a risk analysis methodology for critical asset protection. Outcome Federal, State, local, tribal and private sector entities identify and assess risks, prioritize and select appropriate protection, prevention, and mitigation solutions based on reduction of risk, monitor the outcomes of allocation decisions, and undertake corrective actions. Additionally, Risk Management is integrated as a planning construct for effective prioritization and oversight of all homeland security investments.

National intelligence community Personnel with skills, ability, and training to support national risk assessment and Risk Management strategies and to participate in risk communications activities. Training and formal education are keys to having a sound Risk Management background. Various levels of government will require varying levels of experience or capabilities Risk analysis/risk management tools Tools to facilitate risk analysis/risk management Cost estimating tools Tools to estimate costs of risk management decisions Geographical Information System (GIS) data collection tools Tools to facilitate the collection of geographically-specific data Planning Assumptions and Definitions . Risk assessments can be conducted in a relative manner. Calculated threat and risk ratings will not represent absolute probabilities, unless accurate probability data is readily available, but rather will be measured relative to other threats. Target Capabilities List 49 COMMON MISSION: RISK MANAGEMENT COMMON MISSION: RISK MANAGEMENT . Scenario-based risk assessment will be used to evaluate threat, vulnerability, and consequence. For purposes of consistency the National Planning Scenarios should be used. . Input will be sought from the national intelligence community, including JTTFs, to establish viable threats and the relative likelihood of those threats. To seek alignment with the National Infrastructure Protection Plan would be to use the threat analysis generated by DHS/ Homeland Infrastructure Threat and Risk Analysis Center (HITRAC) in coordination with the intelligence community. This would provide a more authoritative and more consistent threat input. . Scenario-specific threat assessments will include evaluation of target value, weapon availability, attack simplicity, as well as past history and specific intelligence information. Target values will require expert opinion and should be coordinated with the intelligence community and/or Federal stakeholders. Furthermore, the "intent" and "capability" of the adversary must be applied to assess terrorist threat. This approach is consistent with the DHS/NIPP threat analysis approach. . Vulnerability analysis will measure the likelihood that specific scenarios could be executed successfully based on an evaluation of physical features, security capabilities, and response capabilities that serve to prevent an attack from being successful. . Consequence analysis will measure the expected outcome of specific scenarios based on analysis of the susceptibility to attack of the asset given the functional characteristics of the targets, likely cascading impacts to interdependent assets, and the availability of response and recovery capabilities. . Prevention, response, and recovery assessments will also be based on the same set of scenarios. . Total systemic risk will be calculated as an integration of risk across all targets and scenarios within a jurisdiction. . Appropriate protection, prevention, and mitigation solutions will be evaluated using risk-reduction tools. Threat, vulnerability, and consequence will be re-evaluated based upon implementation of solutions. Initial risk calculations serve as a benchmark against which risk reduction is measured. . Criticality assessments will be based on critical target factors that represent the mission of targets to the Federal, State, local, and tribal entities. Considerations should be provided to the factors of human health impact, economic impact, national strategic mission impact, and psychological impact as aligned to Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7. . Life cycle costs for identified solutions will be evaluated, including implementation costs such as training and recurring costs such as personnel and maintenance, and discounted to produce a net present cost. Where available and known, costs to upgrade will be included. . Resources will be allocated through cost-benefit analysis, comparing total risk reduction and costs. . From an actionable perspective, all communities of interest are responsible for risk communication. Risk communication may include but should not be limited to intelligence data, potential terrorism target selection or infrastructure selection, and anomalies which may result in prevention and or deterrence. Furthermore, there are tactical, strategic, and operational responsibilities for each respective community of interest. . Federal, State, and local governments and the private sector all have a role in managing risk. Each should develop an understanding and appreciation of the principles of risk assessment, analysis and management. Each should develop a framework that integrates risk management in their business, and include a process for stakeholder buy-in and governance. . There are current departmental activities aligned to develop a national baseline for risk management architecture. The Department of Homeland Security has defined the framework as the appreciation for consequence, threat, and vulnerability. Given this foundation and the work of the Department, a target architecture should be forthcoming. The National Infrastructure Protection Plan (to be released) provides a framework for the foundations of risk management. Specifically, Chapter 3 and Appendix 3 of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan. 50 Target Capabilities List . The work within this target capability is focused on “terrorism risk,” as it is that adversarial relationship that this target capability is designed for under the disciplines of homeland security. It is intended to establish the fundamental equations that define terrorism risk and to standardize terminology for conduct of a terrorism risk assessment. However, the ability to plan for catastrophic events such as natural disasters should be considered equally within the greater scheme of risk management. . Although estimates can be made as to the potential goals of terrorist groups, the targets that they might select, and the types of weapons that they might use, the actions of terrorists do not absolutely conform to any set of rules or statistics. Because relatively few attacks have occurred in the United States, historical data using trend analysis cannot predict future events and may be of only limited use in predicting even the type, time, or location of attacks that might be launched. . Because of the human element, there is a linkage between terrorism risks at different potential targets. Unlike most forms of risk, where the likelihood of the event occurring at any given location is independent, with terrorism the likelihood of the event occurring is very much dependent on actions that occur at other potential targets. If security measures are increased at one target (target hardening), the relative likelihood of attack can increase at other potential targets (soft targets). This happens because additional security measures could direct resources away from one target and towards others with lower levels of deterrence. . Similarly, the relative value of a potential target can also have a major effect on the likelihood of attack. Terrorist target sites will meet certain goals for an attack, including casualties, economic disruption, or symbolic importance. A larger relative value for one potential target over another makes it more likely that the site might be attacked. Changes in the relative value of other sites could have the effect of changing the risk of terrorism at a particular site, even if no change occurred at the site itself. . Standard algorithms and terminology for evaluating risk must be modified to deal with the effects of the human-element and of the linkages between targets. . Target attractiveness measures the features of a particular asset that may make it more or less likely to be targeted by terrorists for a particular form of attack. Evaluation of target attractiveness should include an evaluation of two sets of features: target value and deterrence. Target value evaluates those features of an asset that make it more likely that an asset will be attacked; features that make the asset attractive as a target. These may include: potential for casualties, potential for economic disruption, and symbolic importance. Deterrence evaluates those features that make a target less likely to be attacked. These features primarily include visible security and known response capabilities. . In instances where frequency of attack can be reasonably evaluated using statistical analysis or some other direct form of estimate, that metric can be directly used for target attractiveness. . The Consequence of a terrorist attack is a product of the criticality of the target and the impact that an attack would have on that criticality. . Consequence = (Criticality) X (Impact) . Criticality is broadly defined as the particular aspects or features of an asset that would make someone want to protect the asset against an attack. Generally, criticality is defined using a set of ‘Critical Asset Factors’. These factors define the specific features of an asset that could make it important to protect that asset from attack. Examples of typical critical asset factors include: . Loss of Life . Economic losses . Disruption of Government Services . Degradation of Critical Infrastructures and Key assets COMMON MISSION: RISK MANAGEMENT Target Capabilities List 51 COMMON MISSION: RISK MANAGEMENT COMMON MISSION: RISK MANAGEMENT . Symbolic and Psychological Impact . Cascading impacts on interdependent assets . Once the risk has been determined, the likelihood of an attack being successful can be assessed. In determining the susceptibility of an attack or “vulnerability to attack” it is assumed that the asset has been targeted, that the terrorists have the required weapon(s) and equipment, and that the attack will take place. The susceptibility then measures the probability that the attack would achieve its desired result given the constraints that are in place at the target, including physical constraints, operational constraints, and security measures. . There are a number of methods that can be used to calculate or estimate susceptibility. These range from simple ratings of security capabilities to complex, simulation-based evaluations of detailed attack scenarios. The most appropriate method will depend on the type of asset and the goals of the risk assessment. In general, however, an appropriate assessment of susceptibility would include an evaluation of physical features, security capabilities, and response capabilities that serve to prevent an attack from being successful. These activities can also be categorized as those that serve to deny, detect, delay, or defend against the attack, and are addressed by other capabilities in the TCL. Planning Factors from an In-Depth Analysis of a Scenario with Significant Demand for the Capability Risk assessment does not focus on single incidents but rather assesses risk across a number of viable threats and critical assets.

This requires a role for citizens in personal preparedness, exercises, ongoing volunteer programs, and surge capacity response. Specific capabilities for UNIVERSAL preparedness, including knowledge of all-hazards (technological, natural, and terrorist incidents) and related protective measures, skills, and supplies, will be determined through a collaborative process with emergency responders. Outcome There is a structure and a process for ongoing collaboration between government and nongovernmental resources at all levels; volunteers and nongovernmental resources are incorporated in plans and exercises; the public is educated and trained in the four mission areas of preparedness; citizens participate in volunteer programs and provide surge capacity support; nongovernmental resources are managed effectively in disasters; and there is a process to evaluate progress.

National Citizen Corps Council Approximately 70 national emergency responder discipline associations, NGOs, disability advocacy groups, faith-based organizations, private sector associations, and government agencies that promote strategies, plans, and exercise guidance to foster governmental/non-governmental collaboration at the State and local levels for citizen preparedness and participation. Citizen Corps Councils Each Citizen Corps Council is composed of representatives of the emergency responder disciplines, civic organizations, NGOs, private sector, faith-based, schools, elected leadership, and other community stakeholders. Local Councils (tribal, county, or city level) oversee local citizen opportunities for education, training/exercises, and volunteer support. Local Councils require adequate supplies and equipment and a minimum of one dedicated staff. Public Education Specialists Specialists to educate the public in the four mission areas of preparedness and to promote volunteer opportunities. State level specialists educate and support the public in developing knowledge, skills, and abilities (both universal and risk-based) to support the four mission areas and to promote volunteer opportunities. Local level specialists focus on education and also ensure alerts/warning and crisis communications are adequate. All include resources to develop and reproduce adequate numbers of outreach materials. National Training Clearing House Clearing house of citizen training courses, to provide training materials for all States. Includes classroom and online courses/resources. State Training Team Train-the-trainer instructors for pre-incident training and post incident just-intime training. Citizen Preparedness Team Teams of individuals based in neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, faith based organizations, military, who prepare themselves with basic necessities—food, water, medicine, power, communications equipment, shelter, and emergency plans; adequate number of members also receive training in first aid and emergency response skills. Identified leader reports status up the organizational/community chain. Includes team equipment, as applicable, and supplies, such as emergency disaster kit for home, work and vehicle— sufficient food, water, medicine, etc. Volunteer Support: Year Round Volunteer services coordinated through Citizen Corps Councils to support emergency responders, providing emergency responders with more time for primary professional duties (i.e. provide administrative support, patrolling, public education or as needed by discipline). Example programs include: Volunteers in Police Service, Medical Reserve Corps, Fire Corps, Community Emergency Response Teams, and Citizens Watch programs. Volunteer Support: Surge “NIMS -credentialed” volunteers to support ESFs, emergency response and recovery, as needed. Volunteers are identified in advance of incidents and agree to perform pre-defined roles in accord with the certifications they receive. Ad hoc training for surge support is also anticipated. Volunteer roles include transportation, communications, mass care, resources management, 62 Target Capabilities List Resource Elements Components and Description public health and medical services, search and rescue, public safety and security, long-term community recovery and mitigation, external affairs, and affiliated volunteers and unsolicited donations management. Planning Assumptions (Unless otherwise noted, all population data is from 2000 census) . People with disabilities, the very young and the very old, people with language barriers, and low income populations are adversely affected in all incidents. All resource organizations and activities include consideration and opportunities for participation for people with disabilities, non-English speaking populations, and those with low income . The medical community is functioning close to peak capacity at time of incident and will need surge capacity from trained volunteers. . Emergency services will be overwhelmed and will need surge capacity from non-governmental resources. . With the exception of hurricanes and early signs of biological infection, there will be no warning before incidents occur. . Steps taken before an incident occurs (such as planning, training, exercises, and equipment) have a significant impact on reducing loss of life and property. . Professional responders and volunteers may get ill or fail to participate as expected due to fear of getting sick, or perceived greater need to care for their own families. . Alerts/warnings and emergency public information will need to be provided in multiple languages, multiple formats, and through multiple venues. . The 2000 census estimated 280 million people and 109 million households in the U.S. (actual population now estimated at over 298 million.) . 85% of the U.S. population is over 9 years of age and under 85 years of age. . 90% of the total U.S. population lives in an area with high-risk for at least one major hazard/threat. Assuming that 80% of this should be trained, the target population is 72% of the total population (80% of the 90% at-risk base). . 58% of the total U.S. population lives in metropolitan areas with 1 million or more residents. . Civic organizations, places of worship, youth organizations, business associations, NGOs and other groups are willing to embrace hometown security and provide information and opportunities to get involved to their members. . 25% of U.S. population aged 3 and older attended school in spring of 2002 (nursery school through grad school). . 64% of the U.S. population aged 16 and over is in the labor force. . 84% of the U.S. population self-identifies with a religious belief and 43% of this group report attending worship services “weekly or more,” representing over 100 million people attending worship services weekly or more (35% of the total U.S. population). . 20% of the U.S. population self reports some type of long lasting condition or disability. . 4.5% of the U.S. population is 75 years of age or older, over 12 million people. . 12% of U.S. population reported 1999 family incomes below poverty threshold. . 42% of households have at least one personal computer in the home. Target Capabilities List 63 COMMON MISSION: COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS AND PARTICIPATION COMMON MISSION: COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS AND PARTICIPATION COMMON MISSION: COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS AND PARTICIPATION . There are 800,000 sworn law enforcement officers in the U.S. or 1 officer for every 350 people. . There are 1.1 million firefighters in the U.S. (73% are volunteer) or 1 firefighter for every 255 people. . There are 860,000 personnel at all levels of pre-hospital service: basic EMT, intermediate EMT, and paramedics or 1 for every 325 people. . There are approximately 2.76 million “emergency responders (law, fire, EMT/paramedic” in the U.S., less than one percent of the total U.S. population. Thus 20% surge capacity represents 560,000 trained volunteers. . Liability concerns do not preclude volunteers from participating. .

Intelligence/ Information Sharing and Dissemination is the multi-jurisdictional, multidisciplinary exchange and dissemination of information and intelligence among the Federal, State, local, and tribal layers of government, the private sector, and citizens. The goal of sharing and dissemination is to facilitate the distribution of relevant, actionable, timely, and preferably declassified or unclassified information and/or intelligence that is updated frequently to the consumers who need it. More simply, the goal is to get the right information to the right people at the right time. An effective intelligence/information sharing and dissemination system will provide durable, reliable, and effective information exchanges (both horizontally and vertically) between those responsible for gathering information and the analysts and consumers of threat-related information. It will also allow for feedback and other necessary communications in addition to the regular flow of information and intelligence. Outcome Effective and timely sharing of information and intelligence occurs across Federal, State, local, tribal, territorial, regional, and private sector entities to achieve coordinated awareness of, prevention of, protection against, and response to a threatened or actual domestic terrorist attack, major disaster, or other emergency.

Planning Assumptions . Prevention consists of those activities that serve to detect, deter, and disrupt terrorist threats or actions against the United States and its interests. These activities decrease the perpetrators’ chance of success, mitigate attack impact, minimize attack visibility, increase the chance of apprehension or detection, and obstruct perpetrators’ access to resources. Tasks in this area are important regardless of a single type of threat, adversary capability, time or location of incident. Similarly, these capabilities reflect many tasks routinely undertaken by law enforcement and related organizations as they conduct traditional all-hazards, all-crimes activities. . This capability applies to all potential terrorist incidents and is applicable to all 12 terrorism-related National Planning Scenarios. Initial planning, however, has been focused on bombing using improvised explosives device, chlorine tank explosion, aerosol anthrax, improvised nuclear device, and a radiological dispersal. . Effective prevention depends on timely, accurate, and actionable information about the adversary, their operations, their support, potential targets, and methods of attack. Homeland security intelligence/information fusion is the overarching process of managing the development and flow of information and intelligence across all levels and sectors of government and the private sector on a continual basis. Although the primary emphasis of fusion is to identify, deter, and respond to emerging terrorism-related threats and risks, a collateral benefit to Federal, State, local, and tribal entities is that it will support ongoing efforts to address non-terrorism-related, all-hazards, all-crimes issues. 76 Target Capabilities List . Intelligence/information fusion is an ongoing, cyclical process that incorporates three primary capabilities: Information Gathering and Recognition of Indicators and Warnings; Intelligence Analysis and Production; and Intelligence and Information Sharing and Dissemination. . All appropriate objectives and critical tasks will be exercised regularly at all levels in order to measure performance and demonstrate capability. . Both the Planning Factors for a Single Incident section and the Approaches for Large-Scale Events section have been omitted because there is no incident or large-scale event that necessarily occurs before these capabilities come in to play.

Unlike intelligence collection, information gathering is the continual gathering of only pure, unexamined data, not the targeted collection traditionally conducted by the intelligence community or targeted investigations. Recognition of indicators and warnings is the ability to see in this gathered data the potential trends, indications, and/or warnings of criminal and/or terrorist activities (including planning and surveillance) against U.S. citizens, government entities, critical infrastructure, and/or our allies. Outcome Locally generated threat and other criminal and/or terrorism-related information is identified, gathered, entered into an appropriate data/retrieval system, and provided to appropriate analysis centers.

All appropriate objectives and critical tasks will be exercised regularly at all levels in order to measure performance and demonstrate capability. . Both the Planning Factors for a Single Incident section and the Approaches for Large-Scale Events section have been omitted because there is no incident or large-scale event that necessarily occurs before these capabilities come in to play. 88 Target Capabilities List Planning Factors for a Single Incident Not Applicable Approaches for Large-Scale Events Not Applicable Target Capability Preparedness Level Resource Element Unit Information gathering personnel Type of Element Personnel Number of Units As Needed Unit Measure (number per x) Lead Federal/State/ Local/Private Sector Capability Activity supported by Element Gather Information Screen Information Identify Suspicious Circumstances Information processing personnel Personnel As Needed Federal/State/ Local Gather Information Screen Information Identify Suspicious Circumstances Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) Federal Resource Organization As Needed Federal Gather Information Screen Information Identify Suspicious Circumstances Public reporting system Equipment As Needed Federal/State/ Local Gather Information Screen Information Identify Suspicious Circumstances Information Gathering Systems and Equipment Equipment As Needed Federal/State/ Local/Private Sector Gather Information Screen Information Identify Suspicious Circumstances References 1.

Prevention consists of those activities that serve to detect, deter, and disrupt terrorist threats or actions against the United States and its interests. These activities decrease the perpetrators’ chance of success, mitigate attack impact, minimize attack visibility, increase the chance of apprehension or detection, and obstruct perpetrators’ access to resources. Tasks in this area are important regardless of a single type of threat, adversary capability, time or location of incident. Similarly, these capabilities reflect many tasks routinely undertaken by law enforcement and related organizations as they conduct traditional all-hazards, all-crimes activities. . This capability applies to all potential terrorist incidents and is applicable to all 12 terrorism-related National Planning Scenarios. The analysis of national targets focused on bombing using improvised explosives device, chlorine tank explosion, aerosol anthrax, improvised nuclear device, and a radiological dispersal.

Forensic analysis personnel and equipment Personnel and equipment at all levels of government involved in the analysis of evidence collected from a crime scene or elsewhere “Train the trainer” programs Programs to train on Federal assets and roles and responsibilities, terrorism indications and warning in criminal investigations, and recognition of hazardous materials/threats Planning Assumptions . Prevention consists of those activities that serve to detect, deter, and disrupt terrorist threats or actions against the United States and its interests. These activities decrease the perpetrators’ chance of success, mitigate attack impact, minimize attack visibility, increase the chance of apprehension or detection, and obstruct perpetrators’ access to resources. Tasks in this area are important regardless of a single type of threat, adversary capability, time, or location of incident. Similarly, these capabilities reflect many tasks routinely undertaken by law enforcement and related organizations as they conduct traditional all-hazards, all-crimes activities. . This capability applies to all potential terrorist incidents and is applicable to all 12 terrorism-related National Planning Scenarios. Initial planning, however, has been focused on bombing using improvised explosives device, chlorine tank explosion, aerosol anthrax, improvised nuclear device, and a radiological dispersal. . Effective prevention depends on timely, accurate, and actionable information about the adversary, their operations, their support, potential targets, and methods of attack. Homeland security intelligence/information fusion is the overarching process of managing the development and flow of information and intelligence across all levels and sectors of government and the private sector on a continual basis. Although the primary emphasis of fusion is to identify, deter, and respond to emerging terrorism-related threats and risks, a collateral benefit to Federal, State, local, and tribal entities is that it will support ongoing efforts to address non-terrorism-related, all-hazards, all-crimes issues. . Both the Planning Factors for a Single Incident section and the Approaches for Large-Scale Events section have been omitted because there is no incident or large-scale event that necessarily occurs before these capabilities come in to play. 112 Target Capabilities List Planning Factor Assumptions . Intelligence/information fusion is an ongoing, cyclical process that incorporates three primary capabilities: Information Gathering and Recognition of Indicators and Warnings; Intelligence Analysis and Production; and Intelligence and Information Sharing and Dissemination. .

It is important to note that the activities and tasks described in this capability will be carried out individually for each specific agent, rather than for all agents at the same time. Therefore, when considering critical tasks and preparedness measures, each task and measure should be applied separately to each CBRNE agent. For example, in considering whether technical support (or “reachback”) is available, rad/nuc “reachback” is considerably different from chemical, biological, or explosive “reachback”. Preparedness in one or more of the CBRNE areas does not equate to preparedness across the entire CBRNE detection spectrum. This capability includes the detection of CBRNE material through area monitoring, but does not include detection by their effects (i.e., signs or symptoms) on humans and animals. Such population level monitoring is addressed, respectively, in the Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation and Animal Disease Emergency Support capabilities. The CBRNE Detection capability includes the identification and communication of CBRNE threats, but does not include actions taken to prevent an incident or respond to the consequences of a CBRNE incident, which are also addressed in other capabilities. The CBRNE Detection capability includes technology, as well as the capacity to recognize potential CBRNE threats through equipment, education, and effective protocols. Training, communication, close coordination with key partners, including intelligence, law enforcement, public safety, public health, and international partners, and public and private sector awareness of CBRNE threats are all recognized as critical enablers for this capability. However, only CBRNE detection-specific tasks within these crosscutting elements have been identified in the discussion of this capability. Definitions are as follows: • Manufacture: The illegal production of CBRNE material within the borders of the U.S. and its territories. • Transport: The movement of CBRNE material outside, across, and within the borders of the U.S. and its territories. • Use: The deployment, emplacement, or employment of CBRNE material within the U.S. and its territories. Outcome Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and/or explosive (CBRNE) materials are rapidly detected and characterized at borders and ports of entry, critical locations, events, and incidents

This may involve laboratory networks (e.g., Laboratory Response Network (LRN), FERN, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), and National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN)) Border control and other targeted ‘defense layers’ personnel Personnel involved in screening materials (e.g., baggage, mail, etc.) to detect CBRNE material at all ports of entry (e.g., sea and airports, border crossing points, etc.) Appropriate critical infrastructure personnel Critical infrastructure personnel who are trained in CBRNE screening and detection of CBRNE materials Automated Information System Resources that provide the infrastructure for the dissemination of information amongst the various command/control and support nodes CBRNE detection Research and Design Programs for the development of technologies to improve CBRNE detection CBRNE monitoring and detection equipment Appropriate fixed or mobile equipment for detection of CBRNE threats based on risk assessments for priority communities or venues. CBRNE equipment support systems Systems to ensure that equipment remains operational and accurate. Systems to provide expert analytical assessments of detector data Planning Assumptions . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the scenarios featuring an improvised explosives device, a chlorine tank explosion, aerosol anthrax, an improvised nuclear device, and a radiological dispersal. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . CBRNE detection activities apply to the U.S. and its territories. . The CBRNE Detection capability addresses biological agents outside of the body (human and animal), and does not include medical or plant samples (i.e., blood and medical tests). Medical and syndromic surveillance detection of biological agents is addressed in Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation, as well as Food and Agriculture Safety. Close integration of these capabilities must occur with the CBRNE Detection capability. . Both the Planning Factors from an In-Depth Analysis of a Scenario with Significant Demand for the Capability section and the Approaches to Large-Scale Events section have been omitted because there is no incident or large-scale event that necessarily occurs before these capabilities come in to play. Target Capabilities List 123 PREVENT MISSION: CBRNE DETECTION PREVENT MISSION: CBRNE DETECTION PREVENT MISSION: CBRNE DETECTION . Intelligence/information fusion is an ongoing, cyclical process that incorporates three primary capabilities: Information Gathering and Recognition of Indicators and Warnings; Intelligence Analysis and Production; and Intelligence and Information Sharing and Dissemination. The CBRNE Detection capability relates closely to all three stages of this process. . All appropriate objectives and critical tasks will be exercised regularly at all levels in order to measure performance and demonstrate capability. . Planning factors are not based on major events, but on an assessment of the risks and vulnerabilities that pertain to the locality conducting that assessment. CBRNE detection is needed continuously and not just during discrete events. Resource Element Estimated Capacity Scenario Requirement Values Quantity of Resources Needed CBRNE detection/operating personnel Nationwide, organized regionally Nationwide, organized regionally Automated Information System One integrated system will provide the infrastructure for dissemination of information amongst the various command/control and support nodes. Nationwide, nested regionally Automated Information System One integrated system will provide the infrastructure for dissemination of information amongst the various command/control and support nodes. Nationwide, nested regionally CBRNE equipment support systems Nationwide, organized regionally Approaches for Large-Scale Events . The main strategy is to use detection technologies and screening processes to interdict the CBRNE materials before they are used. The alternative is to rely on existing detection technology; law enforcement investigations and alternate technologies will determine the presence of threat devices. . Develop the national capability through design and deployment of the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture and other similar programs. . Encourage states and local jurisdiction to develop and implement detection capabilities through use of DHS grants and guidance. . Develop equipment, training and communications standards to facilitate and validate the deployment and use of detection technologies.

Food and Agriculture Safety and Defense Because Food and Agriculture is one of the 17 critical infrastructure sectors, CIP provides the initial line of protection for this industry. Risk Management Risk Management involves the processes used to prioritize CI/KR for protection. Intelligence and Information Sharing and Dissemination Intelligence/information sharing mechanisms support the coordination among security partners in CIP Information Gathering and Recognition of Indicators and Warnings Locally generated threat and other criminal and/or terrorism-related information that results from this capability is used to establish the threat picture that forms the basis for risk in CIP Counter-Terror Investigation and Law Enforcement Counter-Terror Investigation and Law Enforcement are one method of deterring and thus preventing attacks on critical infrastructure. Emergency Public Safety and Security Response Use of law enforcement for emergency public safety and security is one form of protection for critical infrastructure assets. Intelligence Analysis and Production The actionable intelligence/information products produced by this capability can indicate the need for specific protective measures in CIP Explosive Device Response Operations Explosive Device Response Operations may involve the prevention of an explosive device at a critical asset location. CBRNE Detection CBRNE Detection may deter attacks on critical infrastructure or may result in the need for specific protective actions. 134 Target Capabilities List Linked Capability Relationship to Capability Restoration of Lifelines Restoration of Lifelines addresses the immediate restoration of critical infrastructure (e.g., water, power, etc). Economic and Community Recovery Economic and Community Recovery includes recovery and re-building of critical infrastructure, to include greater protection.

Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) may be applicable to any of the 15 National Planning Scenarios as any terrorism-related, accidental, or natural catastrophic event could disrupt or destroy CI/KR in one or more sectors. However, for purposes of determining National Targets, no scenarios were specifically considered because much of the CIP activities take place on an ongoing basis between incidents. Although protective activities are also implemented in response to particular threats or events, information regarding whether an affected asset is considered “critical” needs to be provided before any implementation can occur. . Under the CIP process as defined in the NIPP, protection of CI/KR requires an initial determination of whether the asset/system in question and the risks being posed are “critical.” Therefore, protection activities are conducted on a case-by-case basis. . Resource needs at the State and local level may be determined through the development of a model that takes into account the presence and density of CI/KR assets in various geographic areas. . The understanding of criticality as related to interdependent systems continues to evolve. Additional guidance will be provided as it is developed. . State and local law enforcement is available to support CI/KR protection efforts, as required. . Critical infrastructure information is able to be shared between Federal and State authorities and the private sector in a protected and secure way.

Subject matter experts include microbiologists, toxicologists, food technologists, veterinarians, epidemiologists, etc. For large incidents, assume 4 – 6 SMEs and 4 - 6 policy staff per 24 hour period above normal staffing levels. FDA Emergency Operations Center This resource manages the FDA Emergency Operations Center facility 24 hours per day. In addition to normal staffing levels, it requires 24 – 30 support staff & SMEs (or 8 – 10 per 8 hour shift). USDA Emergency Operations Center This resource manages the USDA Emergency Operations Center facility 24 hours per day. In addition to normal staffing levels, it requires 21 additional staff (including SMEs) or 7 per 8-hour shift.

It is composed of the most senior managers from all program areas. Operations of EMC managed by the Biosurveillance and Emergency Response Staff (9 staff members) State Emergency Operations Centers The State EOC manages the response within each State. The normal staffing level is 60 staff; in addition, it would require 18 to 24 SMEs and policy staff per 24 hour period (or 6 – 8 per 8 hour shift). Local Emergency Operations Center The Local EOC manages the response within each locality. Typically includes 5 to 20 staff, but this is entirely dependent on the size of the locality.

Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios except for blister agents and nerve agents, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the Food Contamination scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . The capability applies to a wide range of incidents and emergencies including accidental or deliberate disease outbreaks, natural disasters, nuclear and conventional events with potential for contamination of the food supply. . The identification of an intentional contamination incident involving a food product in the U.S. would have national implications. Because of the movement of food products around the US, it is highly probable that multiple food facilities in multiple States would be contaminated. Even States that Target Capabilities List 151 PROTECT MISSION: FOOD AND AGRICULTURE SAFETY AND DEFENSE PROTECT MISSION: FOOD AND AGRICULTURE SAFETY AND DEFENSE eventually are found to have no contaminated product will initially require a stepped up effort to ensure that no contaminated product is in their State. . If terrorists were to introduce a chemical or biological agent into a food product at multiple sites simultaneously, the requirements for resources would increase proportionately and exist in many States simultaneously. The requirements for tactical (incident command) resources will increase proportionately with the amount of product/products contaminated. . It is likely that States would share resources, yet States would have to balance the sharing of resources with their need to protect public health within their State. The amount of tactical resource requirements would vary depending on the concentration of food facilities. . In high concentration areas, the spread may be rapid and many food facilities that purchased contaminated food may be affected. In areas with low concentration of food facilities/people, logistical obstacles such as driving time or distance between involved locations may present additional challenges. . The multiplication factors used to gear up from a single point introduction incident to a multiple (national) site introduction assumes resource requirements to increase proportionately with the number of introductions. In estimating national resource requirements, it was assumed the scenario would affect 25 States directly, but all 50 States would have increased workload. The time to resolve the scenario would vary depending on number of site introductions and multiple different food items contaminated. . This scenario is very limited in scope and only lists a food commodity regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (ground beef). The Food and Drug Administration regulates 80 percent of the nation’s food supply – everything except meat, poultry, and egg products which are regulated by USDA. Other scenarios could have potentially more far reaching effects. This is based on vulnerability assessments conducted by FDA and USDA. . Assume all response personnel in key positions are able to respond to their respective response positions after the contaminant has been introduced and they respond as expected. . Assume that sector partners are connected to an information sharing and analysis or fusion system concept where preventative and protective measure information is proactively being shared. . Lack of infrastructure – electricity, phones, transportation, etc., will affect the ability to effectively communicate and will significantly affect the ability to plan appropriately or to respond to an incident. For example, if the roads are non-passable due to a natural disaster, this will affect the ability to get to the affected area and ensure the safety and security of the food supply. . Assume that Multi-Agency Coordination is adequately being addressed at the State, Federal and local levels and the agencies are coordinating as expected. . The following information is needed to effectively detect/respond to/recover from to an event: . Quantity of product affected. . Distribution of product. . Product type or types contaminated. . Laboratory capability. . Ability to determine the cause of illness. . Ability to determine the food item associated with illness or to rule out certain food items. . Ability to trace back product. . Ability to trace forward product. . Ability to effectively recall all affected product. . Appropriate disposal of recalled product. . Appropriate decontamination of food facility or other locations where food was available for purchase. 152 Target Capabilities List . Risk communication to consumers about appropriate food disposal instructions. . Communication with international partners. . Recovery Timeline could potentially be months due to the breadth of the event.

Core Competencies for Public Health Workers, Columbia School of Nursing 160 Target Capabilities List EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE AND INVESTIGATION Capability Definition The Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation capability is the capacity to rapidly conduct epidemiological investigations. It includes exposure and disease (both deliberate release and naturally occurring) detection, rapid implementation of active surveillance, maintenance of ongoing surveillance activities, epidemiological investigation, analysis, and communication with the public and providers about case definitions, disease risk and mitigation, and recommendation for the implementation of control measures. Outcome Potential exposure to disease is identified rapidly by determining exposure and mode of transmission and agent; interrupting transmission to contain the spread of the event; and reducing number of cases. Confirmed cases are reported immediately to all relevant public health, food regulatory, environmental regulatory, and law enforcement agencies. Suspected cases are investigated promptly, reported to relevant public health authorities, and accurately confirmed to ensure appropriate preventive or curative countermeasures are implemented. An outbreak is defined and characterized; new suspect cases are identified and characterized based on case definitions on an ongoing basis; relevant clinical specimens are obtained and transported for confirmatory laboratory testing; the source of exposure is tracked; methods of transmission identified; and effective mitigation measures are communicated to the public, providers, and relevant agencies, as appropriate.

The team is led by a local health department, but staff may be drawn from local, State, and/or Federal resources. Investigation Epidemiologist Personnel: 1 Epidemiologist (or public health nurse or public health advisor) to interview cases and perform investigation Active Surveillance/Case Finding Epidemiologist Personnel: 1 epidemiologist (or public health nurse or public health advisor) per 12 hour shift per facility (e.g. hospital ER in affected region) to find to cases in hospitals and the community. Special Studies Team Team to undertake focused scientific investigations of interest; personnel: 1 epidemiology supervisor (MD, DVM, or PhD), 5 epidemiologists or scientists, 1 public health advisor, 1 subject matter expert, 1 interviewer per 10 persons, and 1 statistician CDC Department Emergency Operations Center (DEOC) Surge Team Team to coordinate CDC response to an incident at a location. Personnel: 1 senior epidemiology supervisor, 1 Federal-State liaison epidemiologist per affected State, 5 support epidemiologists, 1 public health advisor (PHA), 1 data entry manager, 10 data entry staff State/Local EOC Surge Team EOC personnel to coordinate the response to the incident. Personnel: 1 epidemiology incident commander, 1 senior epidemiology supervisor per 12 hour shift, 1 Bioterrorism coordinator, 5 support epidemiologists per 12 hour shift, 1 PHA per 12 hour shift, 1 Database manager, 1 programmer, 2 analysts, 2 transport teams (each with 1 driver), 1 clerical staff member, 1 IT person Personal Equipment Cache 1 Blackberry/cell phone, PPE, and appropriate equipment cache per person Laptop computers/printers 1 laptop per 2 persons deployed; 1 printer per 10 laptops (1 printer per 20 persons deployed) Planning Assumptions Scenario-Specific . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the Anthrax and Pandemic Influenza scenarios. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . Estimates are made of the needs for communities to respond to this emergency once identified and for baseline resources needed for timely initial detection . B. anthracis spores added directly to product without aerosolization . Ground beef was sent to San Diego, Seattle, and Phoenix . Orange juice was sent to Albuquerque, Las Vegas, and Palm Springs . Patient presentations involved gastrointestinal, oropharyngeal, and cutaneous forms of anthrax. . Clinical and laboratory confirmation (LRN) occurred between days 2 and 5 after index case presentation Target Capabilities List 169 PROTECT MISSION: EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE AND INVESTIGATION PROTECT MISSION: EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE AND INVESTIGATION . Production facilities and distribution system mechanisms will be contaminated until formally decontaminated . Cases will continue sporadically following public health intervention due to consumers and retailers failing to discard/return/destroy contaminated product . No simultaneous disasters are occurring during the same time . There will be an unprecedented level of public concern, anxiety, and fear as a result of this incident . Assume field investigation will last 10 days at full personnel strength and then another 20 days at 50 percent personnel strength. . Assume a concurrent law enforcement investigation . Assume health departments and Emergency Operation Centers (EOC) will require 100 percent surge staffing for 30 days in 10 cities (6 affected cities and 4 neighboring areas that have high levels of anxiety/concern) and at CDC. . Staff requirements, detailed in this worksheet, represent existing local, State, and Federal resources that are devoted to routine (baseline) public health activities. . Assume that staff at the local level may include Federal or State employees; assume that staff at the State level may include Federal employees. . Assume that for every case interviewed, 10 ill persons with diseases other than anthrax will need to be interviewed in a more abbreviated manner. Assume these “non-case” interviews will take half the time of a case interview. Given that 2,300 cases are indicated in the scenario, this means that 25,300 total interviews will need to be conducted. . Assume 100 percent of cases and 50 percent of non cases will be interviewed during first 10 days. The remaining 50 percent of non-cases will be interviewed during the next 20 days. . Assume there will be 100 facilities (hospital emergency departments) requiring active surveillance in 10 locations. . Assume 10 special studies will be conducted. Each study will require 50 interviews. . The food contamination scenario explored would be considered a national response that involves local, State and Federal resources. . To provide 24 hour coverage for the first 10 days, the national response described in this scenario would require a staff of 110 epidemiology supervisors, 451 epidemiologists, 60 data entry staff, 40 IT staff, 30 statisticians, 60 public health advisors, 10 occupational/environmental epidemiologists, 50 non-epidemiologist interviewers, 10 subject matter experts and 10 State bioterrorism coordinators. . Over the next 20 days of the investigation, staffing could be reduced to 70 epidemiology supervisors, 270 epidemiologists, 31 data entry staff, 30 IT staff, 30 statisticians, 40 public health advisors, 10 occupational/environmental epidemiologists, 50 non-epidemiologist interviewers, 10 subject matter experts and 10 State BT coordinators. . The percent of staff contributions to the investigation from the State and local levels is dependent on baseline availability of resources. It should be noted that the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) 2004 National Assessment of Epidemiology Capacity: Findings and Recommendations sites a 40 percent deficiency of trained public health epidemiologists nationally. . Due to potentially unforeseen delays in the identification of a non-naturally occurring epidemiological event, detection of disease outbreaks may not occur until large numbers of victims are affected, particularly when the agent has a long incubation period. 170 Target Capabilities List Planning Factors from an In-Depth Analysis of a Scenario with Significant Demand for the Capability (Anthrax and Pandemic Influenza) Resource Organization Estimated Capacity Scenario Requirement Values Quantity of Resources Needed Local Health One team can track diseases at Assume 24 hour/day All 30 days – need 20 Department-based one location per 12 hour shift. staff needs for 30 days teams nationally Surveillance Team at 10 locations Each location needs 2 teams (1 per shift) Investigation One epidemiologist can conduct Assume 100 facilities Nationally: Epidemiologist investigations at 5 locations during first 10 days requiring active surveillance in 10 locations (cities) during first 10 days 200 epidemiologists for first 10 days 100 epidemiologists for next 20 days Active Surveillance/Case Finding Epidemiologists One epidemiologist per shift can conduct surveillance/case finding at 1 health facility during first 10 days.

Such all-hazard threats include those deliberately released with criminal intent, as well as those that may be present as a result of unintentional or natural occurrences. Outcome Potential exposure to disease is identified rapidly by determining exposure and mode of transmission and agent; interrupting transmission to contain the spread of the event; and reducing number of cases. Confirmed cases are reported immediately to all relevant public health, food regulatory, environmental regulatory, and law enforcement agencies. Suspected cases are investigated promptly, reported to relevant public health authorities, and accurately confirmed to ensure appropriate preventive or curative countermeasures are implemented.

Plans to augment the capacity of public health laboratories should include having or having access to information systems that electronically send and receive test orders and results in compliance with PHIN Functional Area for Connecting Laboratory Systems Scenario-Specific Laboratory Testing (Chemical Nerve Agent): . Assume 10,000 worried well; assume that 2,500 worried well population will require testing. Scenario does not state exact number of worried well. Difficult to determine exactly what proportion of the downwind population would fall in this category but assumed 80 percent for purposes of this effort. Of these, assume 25 percent will require/request testing for exposure to nerve agents. . 40 analyses per day per instrument. 188 Target Capabilities List . 13 instruments within Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and seven instruments within States can perform analysis of nerve agent metabolites. . CDC stockpiles enough standards/materials to analyze 5,000 samples. Each of seven States stockpiles enough standards/materials to analyze 500 samples. Total for CDC and States are 8,500 samples. Conducting additional analyses requires additional materials/standards. . Depending on how urgently results are needed, along with involving the States, additional instruments in CDC’s laboratory can be ramped up quickly. . Currently, analytic resources are located at CDC (Atlanta) and 7 State health departments (California, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Virginia). Given the nature of the need and this resource, a centralized/regionalized approach is acceptable. Laboratory Testing (Biological) . Estimates address needs for communities to respond to this emergency once identified. Estimate does not include needs for baseline resources needed for timely initial detection. . B. anthracis spores added directly to product without aerosolization. . Ground beef was sent San Diego, Seattle, and Phoenix. . Orange juice was sent to Albuquerque, Las Vegas and Palm Springs. . Patient presentations involved gastrointestinal, oropharyngeal and cutaneous forms of anthrax. . Laboratory confirmation by the Laboratory Response Network (LRN) occurred between days 2 and 5 after index case presentation. . Production facilities and distribution system mechanisms will be contaminated until formally decontaminated. . Cases will continue sporadically following public health intervention due to consumers and retailers failing to discard/return/destroy contaminated product. . No simultaneous disasters are occurring during the same time. . Assume multi-agency coordination is adequately being addressed at Federal (CDC, Food and Drug Administration [FDA], USDA/APHIS [United States Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plan Health Inspection Service, FBI), State, and local levels and the agencies are coordinating as expected. Overall assumptions for LRN testing of specimens/samples: 1. All Reference LRN laboratories in the affected jurisdictions have the testing capability for the agent. 2. For planning purposes, throughput for four types of equipment available in the LRN Reference laboratory was provided. 3. There are a sufficient number of trained personnel to operate the equipment. 4. There is sufficient availability of reagents. . Factors that could affect the number of specimens/samples calculated assuming laboratorians perform three runs in each shift include time involved to set up the assay, machine capacity, personnel shift duration, condition specimen/sample arrived in, physical working space, individual pace of laboratorian. . For LRN Sentinel laboratories, the first 1,000 patients are distributed evenly among the six affected cities resulting in an even distribution of laboratory rule-out tests (approximately 167 per city), which would result in approximately 16 tests per Emergency Room. The burden on the LRN Sentinel laboratories for foodborne anthrax is inconsequential. . Case definition by epidemiologists will be created within the first 10 days resulting in no further rule- out testing at the LRN Sentinel laboratories following the first 1,000 patients. . Assume a concurrent Law Enforcement Investigation.

Type IV IMTs are designated teams of fire, EMS, and/or law enforcement officers from a region or single jurisdiction (city or county), activated to manage a major or complex incident during the first 6-12 hours and possibly transition to a Type III IMT. Capable of functioning in an incident management function that may involve resources from multiple agencies from the discovery of and arrival at an incident up to and including a full operational period as defined by the agency or jurisdiction. Type III Incident Management Team NIMS Typed Resource. Type III IMTs are standing teams of trained personnel from different departments, organizations, agencies, and jurisdictions within a State or metropolitan region, deployed within a State or region to manage or support incident management at incidents that extend beyond one operational period and possibly transition to a Type II or Type I IMT. Capable of functioning in an incident management function that involves resources from multiples agencies and jurisdictions from local to Federal levels for multiples operational periods. Type II Incident Management Team NIMS Typed Resource. Type II IMTs are Federally or State-certified standing team comprised of up to approximately 38 members qualified and certified through the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) qualification process. A Type II IMT may be self-contained and is typically deployed to incidents of regional significance. Capable of functioning in an incident management function that involves utilization of significant numbers of State and Federal-level resources. Type I Incident Management Team NIMS Typed Resource. Type I Incident Management Teams (IMTs) are Federally or State-certified standing teams comprised of approximately 38 members qualified and certified through the NWCG qualification process. A Type I IMT is the most robust IMT with the most experience; is fully equipped and self-contained and is typically deployed to catastrophic events. Capable of functioning in an incident management function that involves utilization of significant numbers of Federal-level resources. Federal Incident Response Per the National Response Plan, a quick and readily deployable Emergency Support Team (FIRST) Response Team providing on-scene support to the local incident command. The FIRST is a forward extension of the Emergency Response Team- Advanced (ERT-A) providing the ERT-A Team Leader and, after a Stafford Act Declaration, the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO). FIRST has an Incident Command System (ICS) structure and each team has five permanent team members including a Team Leader, Operations Section Chief, Planning Section Chief, Logistics Section Chief, and a Communications Unit Leader. A State may chose to assign a person(s) to respond with the FIRST. Other Federal expertise may be assigned to augment the FIRST on an as-needed basis. The FIRST is considered a National Asset but is stationed in a FEMA Region and on a day-to-day basis reports to the Regional Response and Recovery (R&R) Division Director Planning Assumptions . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the “Toxic Industrial Chemical” scenario. Other Target Capabilities List 205 RESPOND MISSION: ON-SITE INCIDENT MANAGEMENT RESPOND MISSION: ON-SITE INCIDENT MANAGEMENT scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets . Any scenario might require the combined efforts of responders from various local, State, regional, private sector, and Federal entities to carry out sustained support for emergency operations and expand the Incident Command System (ICS) to an inter-jurisdictional and national focus. The coordination of the ICS will be critical in this regard to avoid duplication of effort and to manage strained resources. While the focus would be on response, it is important to note that some scenarios can impact a large geographical area in a relatively short period of time (e.g., when hazards are fast- moving). . Establishment of an intelligence/investigation function will be required if the event is terrorist- initiated and, as such, is a criminal act that will require coordinated intelligence gathering and analysis and extensive criminal investigation. . Type V IMTs are a “pool” of primarily fire officers from several neighboring departments, trained to serve in Command and General Staff positions during the first 6-12 hours from a major or complex incident and possibly transition to a Type IV or Type III IMT. . Complex incident management-unified incident command will have to be established immediately. Multi-agency coordination will be required. . Resource management processes will have to be established immediately. . An inadequate number of first responder resources will be available to manage the entire incident scene as it grows due to the wind transportation of toxic chemicals. . Incident command post, incident base camps, staging areas, and decontamination sites will have to be established. . The multi-agency coordinating group and incident communications management required to supplement dispatch centers and Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) will be overwhelmed from the onset. . Responder care issues will have an immediate impact on the emergency response system. . All incidents will be managed using the National Incident Management System/Incident Command System (NIMS/ICS) at the local level. Expanding or complex incidents may require transitioning incident management to a Type III, Type II, or Type I Incident Management Team (IMT). . “Drawdown” of Type I and Type II IMTs due to significant wildfire activity results in increased use of Type III IMTs at catastrophic events. . Hazardous conditions, weather, size of area, scope, access, and criminal activity (hazard) affect how quickly incident scene can be sized up. . The Toxic Industrial Chemical scenario involves a fire and toxic industrial chemical release from a petroleum refinery caused by terrorist attack using rocket-propelled grenades and explosive devices. There are 350 fatalities, 1,000 hospitalized victims, 10,000 evacuated, 1,000 seeking shelter, 25,000 shelter-in-place, and 100,000 self-evacuating. One-half of the structures at the refinery are damaged from explosions. 206 Target Capabilities List Planning Factors from an In-Depth Analysis of a Scenario with Significant Demand for the Capability (Toxic Industrial Chemical) Resource Organization Estimated Capacity Scenario Requirement Values Quantity of Resources Needed Type III Incident Management Team One Team can respond to one moderate/complex incident All-risk incident Single or unified command Assume 100-200 responders in operations section 1 IMT; if incident is a long- duration incident, it may require a transition of a new IMT Type II Incident Management Team One Team can respond to one moderate/complex incident All-risk incident Single or unified command Assume 200-500 responders in operations section 1 IMT; if incident is a long- duration incident, it may require a transition of a new IMT Type I Incident Management Team One Team can respond to one complex incident All-risk incident Single or unified command Assume 500+ responders in operations section 1 IMT; if incident is a long- duration incident, it may require a transition of a new IMT Approaches for Large-Scale Events . National ICS positions and qualification standards need to be established by the NIMS Integration Center (NIC) using existing standards established for IMTs by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and U.S. Fire Administration. . Increase the local-level Type III and IV IMT training using existing programs such as that of the U.S. Fire Administration. Use subject matter experts (SMEs) from local, State, and Federal agencies certified/qualified in ICS to accomplish national training needs. . The NIMS Integration Center (NIMS) needs to establish training and exercise requirements; use those established by NWCG, USDA, and USCG.

Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the Improvised Nuclear Device (IND) scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . This capability is applicable to all scenarios in which the incident is a large-scale event requiring the establishment of a command center away from the incident site. . One central and backup EOC for each of 3,142 counties. One central and backup State EOC are available for each State and 6 territorial governments (56+). Individual municipalities (19,429) and towns and townships (16,504) may need an EOC depending on population, legislation, and identified requirements. . Type III Incident Management Teams (IMTs) can be maintained at the local level (city, county, and State) and staffed by qualified individuals from first-responder agencies (interagency IMTs). Such IMTs are readily available for a quick response and rapidly establish incident command on expanding incidents. . One central and backup EOC are available for each of the signatory departments and agencies listed in the National Response Plan (40+). . All jurisdictions have identified the need to carry out minimum emergency functions for effective control of any emergency through their own EOC or a shared EOC that has been identified under National Incident Management System (NIMS) operations. . The primary or alternate EOC facility is operational and habitable. . Sufficient personnel, ranging from 2 to 3 shifts, 24/7, are available to staff the EOC and manage all tasks. . Sufficient personnel and equipment are available to conduct EOC operations. . Trained personnel are available to perform EOC tasks. Personnel know their assigned roles and responsibilities as part of the EOC team. . Primary and/or alternate communications capabilities are still functional to coordinate response and incident management. . Governments within the United States: . 19,429 municipalities . 16,504 towns or townships . 3,142 counties . 50 State governments . 6 territorial governments . 1 Federal government . Total of more than 39,000 jurisdictions RESPOND MISSION: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER MANAGEMENT Target Capabilities List 219 RESPOND MISSION: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER MANAGEMENT RESPOND MISSION: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER MANAGEMENT . Cities with populations greater than 50,000 should identify the need for an EOC. The numbers of cities with levels of populations above 50,000 follow: . 364 cities with populations of 50,000—100,000 . 173 cities with populations of 100,000—200,00 . 36 cities with populations of 250,000—500,000 . 29 cities with populations of 500,000+ Scenario-Specific . The capability targets for a single incident are based primarily on the “improvised nuclear device” (IND) scenario because it was considered the most encompassing for an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) standup and response to minimize the impact and to manage the incident. An earthquake was considered the next most encompassing. The 15 possible scenarios were rated from most to least encompassing.

Rapid Needs Assessment Team (Type I) NIMS Typed Resource. Per NIMS, provides a rapid assessment capability immediately following a major disaster or emergency. Team provides and collects information to determine requirements for critical resources needed to support emergency response activities. Logistics response system Per NIMS, part of the ICS logistics branch needed to manage critical resource logistics and distribution Transportation Coordinator Per NRP ESF#1, coordinates critical resource transportation needs between all organizations and among Federal, State, local, and private agencies and organizations. Cargo Transportation Teams Vehicles and staff necessary to move large amounts of critical resources (e.g. personnel and trucks, planes, boats, trains) Evacuation Transportation Team Vehicles (e.g. trucks, buses, planes, boats, trains) and staff to provide transportation to evacuees Federal mobilization base camp Locations at incident site to receive and house Federal assets State staging area Locations in base camps to house Federal assets transferred to the State. Interagency warehouse Location with appropriate material-handing equipment (e.g., fork lifts, pallet jacks) to receive and house critical resources transferred from the State and donated by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and the public Evacuation Terminal Location for affected evacuated personnel Warehouse system for stockpiled resources A system to track and house stockpiled resources. Logistic staging area (LSA) This term is used as a convenience to represent the reception area and staging/mobilization area defined in NIMS Reception area Per NIMS, a location separate from the staging areas where resources report in for processing and out-processing. This location also provides accountability, security, situational awareness briefings, safety awareness, and distribution of IAPs, supplies, equipment, feeding, and bed-down. Staging area Per NIMS, a temporary location established where available resources can be placed while awaiting a tactical assignment. Incident base Per NIMS, the location at which primary support activities are conducted. A single incident base is established to house all equipment and personnel support operations. The incident base should be designed to be able to support operations at multiple incident sites Camps Per NIMS, a location that is separate from the incident base and located in satellite fashion from the incident base where it can best support incident operations. Camps provide certain essential auxiliary forms of support, such as food, sleeping areas, and sanitation. It may also provide minor maintenance Target Capabilities List 231 RESPOND MISSION: CRITICAL RESOURCE LOGISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION RESPOND MISSION: VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT AND DONATIONS RESPOND MISSION: VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT AND DONATIONS Resource Elements Components and Description and servicing of equipment. Camps may be relocated to meet changing operational requirements. Mobilization and staging areas Per NIMS, staging areas will be established by the Operations Section Chief to enable positioning of and accounting for resources not immediately assigned. A staging area can be any location in which personnel, supplies, and equipment can be temporarily housed or parked while awaiting operational assignment. Staging areas may include temporary feeding, fueling, and sanitation services. Personnel must check-in with the resources unit at the staging area, while supplies and equipment are checked in with the supply unit. If neither of these functions is activated, resources report to the Staging Area Manager for direction. Critical Resources Unit Leader Per NIMS, this position tracks and maintains the status and availability of critical resources assigned to each incident under the area command Planning Assumptions General . The capability is constant across all 15 National Planning Scenarios; however, hazardous materials (HazMat) response incidents will require specialized, already established teams to assist with the incident. Regardless, this capability functions across all scenarios, adjusting to the needs of the incident. . Significant, additional logistical support and coordination and public information systems will be required whenever a “shelter in place” or a “quarantine” order is implemented. . The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will likely raise the Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) to “red” status immediately following a terrorist attack for designated areas, if not the entire Nation. Depending on the location, scope, and magnitude of the event, this elevated status can prompt actions limiting the availability of air transportation within the United States. Such travel limitations can negatively impact the timely convergence at the disaster-affected area of needed personnel and material resources. . Jurisdictions will identify where and how to replenish the depleted resources needed to further manage the incident. . Development of plans, procedures, and protocols for resource management in accordance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) will be outlined within the planning capability. . Assistance from private contractors and voluntary agencies will be forthcoming to help the community during the incident. Pre-contracted services may be necessary and are encouraged through public and private sector organizations and partnerships. . Resources are categorized by material or service provided. Per NIMS, resources are defined by the following status conditions: . Assigned resources -- the status condition where personnel, teams, equipment, or facilities are checked in or, in the case of equipment and facilities, receipted for and are assigned to support incident operations. . Available resources -- the status condition where personnel, teams, equipment, or facilities are checked in or, in the case of equipment and facilities, receipted for, assigned to an incident, and made ready for a specific work detail or function . Out of service resources -- the status condition where personnel, teams, equipment, or facilities are assigned to an incident but are unable to function for mechanical, rest, or personal reasons or because their condition makes them unusable 232 Target Capabilities List . Interstate and intrastate mutual aid agreements will be utilized (State, tribal, and local). . Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) will be implemented based upon Federal declarations. . Jurisdictions’ emergency response plans should include pre-contracted services with public and private entitities. . Most capability elements will be needed quickly; they must be available to respond in less than 1 hour from the initial incident to manage the scene. However, because this capability deals with critical resource logistics and distribution, the timeframe may be slightly longer (1-3 hours, depending on the resource) but still required locally. . Warehouses will securely store and handle all stockpiled materials under appropriate conditions that will maintain their stability, integrity, and effectiveness while providing appropriate levels of physical security for all materials and facilities. Scenario-Specific . Based upon scenario conditions, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake with a subsequent 8.0 earthquake following occurs along a fault zone in a major metropolitan area, greatly affecting a 6-county region with a population of approximately 10 million people. Approximately 150,000 buildings are destroyed and 1 million buildings are damaged. All typed personnel are based on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Typed Resource Definitions. . Assume 300,000 people will need to evacuate area. Of this, 50 percent lack the capability to self- evacuate.

This includes facility, data management, and internal operations. Transportation Team Trucks and drivers to pick up and deliver donated goods Warehousing Team One warehouse manager, 4 personnel, and associated equipment Planning Assumptions . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the major earthquake scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . Volunteer Management and Donations will require significant attention immediately following the event. If not promptly and appropriately managed, attention to this activity will demand the diversion of resources away from service delivery. . Offers of assistance will come from other countries. . Seasonal considerations include the dead of winter instead of summer. Scenario-Specific . Three million are affected, 2.5 million are displaced, 30,000 are killed, and 150,000 are injured. . Infrastructure failure is pervasive in communications, energy, and water and sewer sectors. . Resources are needed within 12–48 hours, which can be located regionally. The optimal location should be 15–20 miles from the event site (ground zero). However, damage to infrastructure may dictate otherwise. The Volunteer and Donations Coordination Center and Phone Bank should 246 National Preparedness Guidelines generally be located close to the State’s Emergency Operation Center (EOC) for coordination purposes.

National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster. 2004. http://www.nvoad.org. 248 National Preparedness Guidelines RESPONDER SAFETY AND HEALTH Capability Definition Responder Safety and Health is the capability that ensures adequate trained and equipped personnel and resources are available at the time of an incident to protect the safety and health of on scene first responders, hospital/medical facility personnel (first receivers), and skilled support personnel through the creation and maintenance of an effective safety and health program. This program needs to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) “HAZWOPER” standard (29 CFR 1910.120, as implemented by EPA or State authorities) and any other applicable Federal and State regulations. The program also needs to be integrated into the Incident Command System (ICS) and include training, exposure monitoring, personal protective equipment, health and safety planning, risk management practices, medical care, decontamination procedures, infection control, vaccinations for preventable diseases, adequate work-schedule relief, psychological support, and follow-up assessments. This capability identifies the critical personnel, equipment, training, and other resources needed to ensure that all workers are protected from all hazards, including fire (heat and products of combustion), CBRNE (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive) materials, electrical hazards, collapsed structures, debris, acts of violence, and others. The Responder Safety and Health capability is a critical component of safe overall emergency management. First responders include police, fire, emergency medical services (EMS), and other emergency personnel, as well as emergency management, public health, clinical care, public works, and other skilled support personnel (such as equipment operators). This extended definition includes a very broad set of workers and a wide range of likely response-related activities, resulting in an increased number of potential hazards and exposures. Building the ability to protect all responders from all hazards is a substantial undertaking that involves prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. This capability supports both the Safety Officer position identified in the National Incident Management System (NIMS)/incident command system (ICS) and the Worker Safety and Health Support Annex to the National Response Plan (NRP). The Type 1 Safety Officer described in this capability has yet to be fully defined (to include managing all of the hazards that first responders are likely to face), but the concept used is the same as the “Disaster Safety Manager” described in Protecting Emergency Responders: Safety Management in Disaster and Terrorism Response (NIOSH, 2004). In addition, the list of services that are critical for this capability is consistent with the actions specified under the Worker Safety and Health Support Annex and in the Guidelines for hazmat/WMD Response, Planning and Prevention Training (FEMA, 2003). During the response to any incident, employers are responsible primarily for the safety and health of their employees. However, the ICS creates a unified safety and health organization under the Safety Officer. In large-scale incidents, because of the number and varieties of hazards and workers, the Safety Officer would be used more as a Safety Manager. This technical capability therefore does not prescribe a certain level of preparedness for any particular organization; rather, it specifies the need for personal protective equipment (PPE), Safety Officers, and so forth and allows local entities to determine the best way to obtain the needed resources (e.g., through mutual aid, State resources, or Federal resources) for the first 72 hours from the “initial response” operations.

The Safety Officer monitors incident operations and advises the IC on all matters related to operational safety, including the health and safety of emergency responder personnel. May appoint Assistant Safety Officers as needed. Specialized Safety Officer Specialization needs determined by each Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) region and county based on their own specialized hazards and risks (e.g., jurisdictions with nuclear reactors may need specialized Safety Officers trained in radiation/nuclear hazards.) Specialized subject matter experts To include Certified Industrial Hygienist, Public Health Service, radiological expert, biological expert, engineer, etc. Analytical laboratories Laboratory capability to analyze samples of any CBRNE agent per day and to provide supplemental field instruments for hazard detection/characterization Equipment caches To include PPE, monitoring/detection equipment Respiratory Fit-test Mobile Units Manufacturer approved mobile fit test units to allow for needed fit testing in the field Medical Unit See NIMS/FIRESCOPE for definitions Training centers Locations (including mobile units) to train (and maintain proficiency of) all responders up to minimum training requirements prior to an incident Planning Assumptions . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the aerosolized anthrax scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . The jurisdiction may have limited Safety Officers with high-level expertise and experience in a specialized subject area, such as radiation, hazardous materials (HazMat), building/structure collapse, biohazard, and so forth. . Mental health services will be sought by victims and responders in and near the affected area, as well as (on a lesser scale) throughout the Nation. . Standards, training, and certification are limited for high-level (national-State) Safety Officers. . Various Federal and State safety and health laws and regulations and related national consensus standards may overlap with one another, conflict in their requirements, and have gaps in their requirements or coverage. This program assumes compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) “HAZWOPER” standard (29 CFR 1910.120, as implemented by EPA or State authorities) and any other applicable Federal and State regulations. . The larger and/or more complex the incident, the more likely that the local initial first responders’ safety and health programs will be unable to cope effectively and will need outside assistance from regions, State and Federal agencies. . The more unusual or out of the ordinary the incident, the more likely the local initial first response safety and health programs will be less able to cope effectively and will need outside assistance from regions, State and Federal agencies. 258 National Preparedness Guidelines . Limited funding, staffing and levels of equipment will negatively impact an agency/jurisdiction’s ability to train and sustain appropriate levels of training. . The larger and/or more complex the incident, the more likely that the designation of a Safety Officer and Assistant Safety Officers will be needed. . The more unusual or out of the ordinary the incident, the more likely that the Safety Officer will need assistance Safety Officers and Safety SMEs and that outside assistance from private sector, academia, regions, State and Federal agencies will be needed. . The larger and/or more complex the incident, the more likely there will be a significant need for safety and health management at the incident scene(s). . With insufficient training or PPE, responders may become injured or ill. Responders cannot work due to lack of PPE or training. . Additional training and/or PPE may be needed to address new hazards/new employees. . The larger and/or more complex the incident, the more likely that there will be a significant need for safety and health management during demobilization. . The more unusual or out of the ordinary the incident, the more likely the demobilization plan will need outside assistance from the private sector, academia, regions, State and Federal agencies. . The affected jurisdiction may have limited, inappropriate, expired, or unserviceable PPE and training. . Respirator-fit test documentation, fit tests with the variety of equipment available at the time of the incident, and the capability to conduct fit testing during a disaster will be limited. Even if persons are fit tested at their home agency, proof may not be available onsite at a disaster requiring additional fit testing. . Cross-training in the use of dissimilar PPE is limited. Responders may not have appropriate training for the additional equipment available at the time of and issued at the scene of a major disaster to supplement their initial response cache; it may differ from their home agency equipment. . Immediate response organizations will be required to support the incident in its entirety until Federal- State safety assets become available. . Local, regional, and State response agencies will have access to specialized resources from public- and private-sector agencies and academia. . Data enabling the recognition/characterization of hazards associated with the incident may not be immediately available. Field instrumentation and laboratory analysis may be necessary to fully characterize hazards. . All safety and health plans should be in place and enforced for day-to-day operations. Catastrophic incidents will cause the readdressing of day-to-day safety and health policies and plans caused by the scope, complexity, or uniqueness of the incident(s).

A single “all-hazards” Safety Officer is designated by the IC to manage all safety operations associated with the incident. Assistants (e.g. specialized Safety Officers, SMEs, employer representatives, employee representatives) to the Safety Officer are designated and made part of response teams. All employers whose personnel are involved in the response are represented in the safety management structure. Equipment caches are based on local quantities, regional quantities (through mutual aid), State caches (interstate mutual aid), and national caches (e.g., pre-positioned equipment program). Sources of equipment and notification/transportation of equipment have been addressed in advance. All responders need the specified training (e.g., technicians, operations, and specialists) prior to the incident. Federal responders would follow the National Response Plan (NRP), including the Worker Safety and Health Support Annex. State and local response plans include worker safety and health coordination that is consistent with the actions specified under the Worker Safety and Health Support Annex.

Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) Program. http://fema.mmrs.gov. 262 National Preparedness Guidelines EMERGENCY PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY RESPONSE Capability Definition Emergency Public Safety and Security Response is the capability to reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or major event by securing the affected area, including crime/incident scene preservation issues as appropriate, safely diverting the public from hazards, providing security support to other response operations and properties, and sustaining operations from response through recovery. Public Safety and Security Response requires coordination among officials from law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services (EMS). Outcome The incident scene is assessed and secured; access is controlled; security support is provided to other response operations (and related critical locations, facilities, and resources); emergency public information is provided while protecting first responders and mitigating any further public risks; and any crime/incident scene preservation issues are addressed. Relationship to National Response Plan Emergency Support Function (ESF)/Annex This capability supports Emergency Support Function (ESF) #13: Public Safety and Security.

National Guard To augment crowd control, traffic control, and hard target security. Private security company personnel Supplement personnel to allow local law enforcement to perform law enforcement duties Planning Assumptions General . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the Radiological Dispersal Device scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . This capability applies to a wide range of incidents and emergencies, including accidental or deliberate disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and nuclear and conventional events. . If the catastrophic incident results from terrorism, the Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) level will likely be raised regionally, and perhaps nationally. Elevation of the HSAS level requires additional local, State, and Federal security enhancements that may affect the availability of certain response resources. . Police will be needed to direct traffic away from the contaminated area, prevent access to the contaminated area, and support movement of the population out of the contaminated area. . Looting and/or damaging to unattended properties, especially shops and stores by armed hooligans and criminals should be considered. . Public safety personnel will need to support the evacuation, sheltering, and protection of downwind populations. . Public safety personnel will support the movement of approximately 35,000 people to shelters. Temporary housing will be needed. . A decontamination process must be set up. Public safety personnel will be needed to support movement of the population in and out of the decontamination area. Scenario-Specific . The use of a radiological dispersion device (RDD) would have local implications on the public safety and security response teams. The assumption is that an RDD would be dispersed within a downtown or highly populated areas. With Washington, D.C., as an example, there are approximately 200–250 people in a single block. If this RDD were to affect an area of 36 blocks or more, 7,500–9,000 people would be affected. It is likely that local, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies would share resources to help contain the area and aid in crowd control for a high population such as this. Yet the States would have to balance the resources between preventing affected personnel from entering into other portions of the State by leaving the site. 274 Target Capabilities List Planning Factors from an In-Depth Analysis of a Scenario with Significant Demand for the Capability Resource Organization Estimated Capacity Scenario Requirement Values Quantity of Resources Needed Law enforcement officers for crowd control Capacity to control a large crowd within a downtown area Sufficient numbers to regulate approximately 200 people per 36 blocks Sufficient uniformed/sworn, reserve, volunteer, and in- training officers to accomplish the task 80% of officers will come from local sources and 20% will come from State sources. Law enforcement officers for traffic control Capacity to control traffic from both entering and leaving the affected areas Sufficient numbers to regulate approximately 7,000 people, depending on automobile traffic or mass transit numbers Sufficient uniformed/sworn, reserve, volunteer, and in- training officers to accomplish the task National Guard Capacity to supplement local and regional law enforcement agencies Sufficient to allow local law enforcement to perform law enforcement duties Appropriate guards to augment law enforcement personnel for crowd control, traffic control, and hard target security (at the World Trade Center, 8,500 were deployed within 24 hours from the attacks) Private security Capacity to Sufficient to allow local law Appropriate numbers to company personnel supplement local and regional law enforcement agencies enforcement to perform law enforcement duties supplement law enforcement personnel for limited traffic control and provide target security for private sector sites Approaches for Large-Scale Events To avoid duplication of resources, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) and law enforcement resource organizations should cross-train with other capabilities and foster cross-border cooperation.

It includes the ability to respond to large-scale national and regional emergencies as well as to smaller-scale incidents through rapid determination of the nature of the event, initiation of the appropriate response, containment of the disrupting effects, and facilitation of recovery. Outcome Foreign animal disease is prevented from entering the United States by protecting the related critical infrastructure and key assets. In the event of an incident, animal disease is detected as early as possible, exposure of livestock to foreign diseases is reduced, immediate and humane actions to eradicate the outbreak are implemented, public and animal health and the environment are protected, continuity of agriculture and related business is safely maintained and/or restored, and economic damage is minimized. Trade in agricultural products and domestic and international confidence in the U.S. food supply are safely maintained or restored.

Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the “foreign animal disease” scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . This capability applies to a wide range of incidents and emergencies, including accidental or deliberate disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and nuclear and conventional events. . Any event that would adversely affect the supply of electric utilities, access to water and feed, or access to premises such as large scale natural disasters (hurricanes, floods, blizzards) would impede communications, surveillance, operations, humane care of animals and delivery of services. If the roads are non-passable due to a natural disaster, this will affect our ability to get to the affected area, conduct operations, surveillance and other activities. Scenario-Specific . Herd size, rate of spread, and risk factors for an epidemic are based on a median herd size of 670 susceptible animals, derived from research models of the spread of FMD. . In the event of a single point of introduction and immediate response, 2,000 herds are expected to be infected over a 100-day period. . In the event of three points of intentional introduction, up to 60 percent of States may be affected within 10 days of the attack. This would result in most of the States being quarantined within 2 weeks. . Forty-five percent of the cattle inventory (beef and dairy) is affected = 45 million animals. . Fifty percent of the swine population is affected = 60 million animals. . Twenty percent of small ruminants are affected = 1.8 million animals. . A decision whether to vaccinate will be made and implemented at the beginning of the outbreak. . Quarantine/movement control strategies will have a negative impact on the marketability of nonsusceptible species (e.g., poultry). . Annual losses will include $20 billion in meat exports and $20 billion in domestic meat production, plus a 50 percent decline in milk production, with a prolonged period of depression due to lack of replacement stock and the time it takes to reach lactation age. Income will be lost from hunting restrictions and concerns over the disease in wildlife. . Wildlife: All cloven-hoofed wildlife species, including zoological collections, are at risk of exposure, infection, and spread of disease, including deer, feral swine, wild sheep, and goats. This includes 200,000 farmed elk, 65,000 deer, and 350,000 farmed bison. . Distribution will be widespread due to extensive livestock transportation. . Extensive labor costs for surveillance, monitoring, euthanasia, vaccination, animal removal and husbandry will accrue. . Increased human morbidity and mortality would occur, including adverse impacts on mental health. . High unemployment will occur due to both direct and indirect economic losses of the outbreak, as well as lost opportunity costs, leading to a prolonged economic depression and loss of global market share. . Consumer confidence in meat and meat products will plummet and will take time to be restored.

To avoid duplication of resources, CBRNE weapons or devices and hazardous materials (hazmat) resource organizations should cross-train with other capabilities . To increase throughput in handling samples, laboratory resource organizations should develop new diagnostic technologies and pursue technology enhancements . For efficient use of national resources in emergencies with finite geographic distribution, animal treatment teams (livestock) should pursue cross-State border cooperation . For efficient use of personal and economic support to affected communities, personal resource organizations should use on-farm labor and develop just-in-time training . To simplify the indemnity process and provide a cost-effective alternative to euthanasia and disposal, indemnity plan resource organizations should pursue the final indemnity rule and consider the

Target Capabilities List 307 RESPOND MISSION: ANIMAL DISEASE EMERGENCY SUPPORT This page intentionally left blank Target Capabilities List ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Capability Definition Environmental Health is the capability to protect the public from environmental hazards and manage the health effects of an environmental health emergency on the public. The capability minimizes human exposures to environmental public health hazards (e.g., contaminated food, air, water, solid waste/debris, hazardous waste, vegetation, sediments, and vectors). The capability provides the expertise to run fate and transport models; design, implement, and interpret the results of environmental field surveys and laboratory sample analyses; develop protective guidance where none exists; and use available data and judgment to recommend appropriate actions for protecting the public and environment. Environmental Health identifies environmental hazards in the affected area through rapid needs assessments and comprehensive environmental health and risk assessments. It works closely with the health community and environmental agencies to link exposures with predicted disease outcomes, provides input in the development of Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication (CERC) messages, provides guidance on personal protective measures, and advises on environmental health guidelines. Outcome After the primary event, disease and injury are prevented through the quick identification of associated environmental hazards, including exposure to infectious diseases that are secondary to the primary event as well as secondary transmission modes. The at-risk population (i.e., exposed or potentially exposed) receives the appropriate countermeasures, including treatment or protection, in a timely manner.

FBI Special Agent Bomb Technician ATF Explosive Enforcement Officers DHS Office for Bombing Prevention DHS/TSA Explosives Unit National Guard EOD DoD/Military EOD Planning Assumptions . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the Improvised Explosives Device scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . It is noted that the specific placement of existing bomb squads has been driven by bombing activity levels in the past, and the issue of adding new bomb squads or the rapid expansion of existing bomb squads is currently managed through a “Needs Survey” process by the FBI, based on standards set by the National Bomb Squad Commanders Advisory Board (NBSCAB) for the purpose of maintaining the optimum levels of qualified and experienced bomb squad personnel. The Needs Survey is further defined in the National Guidelines for Bomb Technicians. . General guidance -- Coverage of high density population and critical infrastructure/key resources (CI/KR) locations by Type I level bomb squad teams is being added as a factor in the “Needs Survey” process, detailed in the National Guidelines for Bomb Technicians. Other Locations – Type I, II, or III based on population, population density, critical infrastructure requirements, and additional factors as defined in the “Needs Survey” process . All situations must be assessed by the bomb technician on the scene as to time sensitive considerations. Safety issues take precedence over time considerations. Target Capabilities List 345 RESPOND MISSION: EXPLOSIVE DEVICE RESPONSE OPERATIONS RESPOND MISSION: EXPLOSIVE DEVICE RESPONSE OPERATIONS RESPOND MISSION: EXPLOSIVE DEVICE RESPONSE OPERATIONS . In catastrophic level Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) situation where full remote capabilities are available, it is desired to have the technological potential for diagnostics and execution of the disruption tools within one hour from time of arrival on the scene. . Large Vehicle Bombs require Type I teams minimum . Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) require Type II team minimum, plus Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) training and equipment meeting standards set by NBSCAB . Suicide Bomber(s) require Type III team minimum . Effective response times are directly related to threat identification and communicative chain to dispatch. . Response timelines are dependent on location of event relative to placement of capability. . A system is in place to ensure the timely receipt of intelligence or device information to assist those responding to the threat. . Bomb Squad – A bomb response organization consists of at least one bomb response team (see the definition of a “bomb response team”), accredited by the FBI Hazardous Devices School to standards set by the National Bomb Squad Commanders Advisory Board. . Bomb Response Team – A sub-unit within a bomb squad, consisting of at least two certified bomb technicians and a full set of equipment meeting minimum standards for bomb squad operations. . Military EOD units are not currently resource typed within NIMS but are available to respond to incidents in the community either to assist the “accredited” bomb squad, or respond to the incident in an area without State/local bomb squad presence.

Unconstrained need: consider all assets required for response, do not factor response time or asset availability into planning. . Planning factors are based on scenario and planning assumptions for a level III hazardous materials (hazmat) incident, where there are 1,000 injuries, 350 deaths, 25,000 sheltered, 10,000 evacuated, and 100,000 self-evacuated. About half of equipment and facilities are damaged (of three refineries). Two ships sank, the port was damaged near improvised explosive device (IED) sites, and property was damaged in the downwind area. . A significant number of individuals exposed to a plume cloud or contaminant agent will flee the scene before first responders arrive. It may prove difficult to determine which of those individuals require decontamination, and to ensure such individuals present themselves for decontamination. . The United States has approximately 64 nuclear stations supported by the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REPP). No less than 30 REPP response teams should be able to respond to an “improvised nuclear device” scenario within 24 hours. . Quantity of resources is achievable through mutual aid. . Each jurisdiction is expected to sponsor and support community emergency response teams (CERTs). . The projected effects of contamination resulting from a catastrophic incident are generally based on an estimated population density of 2,000 people per square mile, but may increase for major urban areas. . Large-gathering situations (e.g. National Security special events, sporting events, conventions, etc.) create higher localized population densities. . Biological agents typically have delayed symptoms. As such there will rarely be an on-site incident requiring response when a biological agent is released. . Health care facilities are the most likely locations for managing a biological incident. . Secondary contamination will be a major concern. Hospital emergency rooms may close if patients are admitted without proper decontamination. Other secondary contamination issues include control of runoff of fluids used in decontamination, and the handling of contaminated clothing and personal effects. In addition, the secondary contamination of first responders, even those wearing personal protective equipment, can occur during the removal of patients from a hazardous area, during the performance of basic life support functions, or when initial responders are unaware that a hazardous material is involved. . The psychological dimensions of being exposed to a contaminant, and subsequent decontamination may present social management challenges and concerns. Of greatest concern are the short- and long-term psychological consequences resulting from actual exposure to chemical, biological, and radiological substances, and which subsequently produce negative health effects. Short-term stress symptoms may be a prelude to long-term, debilitating, post-traumatic stress disorder. 372 Target Capabilities List Planning Factors from an In-Depth Analysis of a Scenario with Significant Demand for the Capability (Toxic Industrial Chemical) Resource Organization Estimated Capacity Scenario Requirement Values Quantity of Resources Needed Type 1 Hazmat Entry Team (extrication) Can conduct: 3 victim extrications per hour per team 12 victim extrications over a 4-hour period per team 1,000 injuries (downwind area) 350 deaths 2 response areas: port and downwind.

In addition, this capability involves the safe reentry of the population where feasible. Outcome Affected and at-risk populations (and companion animals to the extent necessary to save human lives) are safely sheltered-in-place or evacuated to safe refuge areas. Relationship to National Response Plan Emergency Support Function (ESF)/Annex This capability is supported by the following Emergency Support Functions (ESFs): ESF #1: Transportation ESF #5: Emergency

Planning Assumptions General . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the Chlorine Tank Explosion scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . This capability applies to a wide range of incidents and emergencies, including accidental or deliberate disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and nuclear and conventional events. . Large-scale evacuations, organized or self-directed, may occur. More people are initially likely to flee and seek shelter for attacks involving chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear agents than for natural events. . Evacuation times and the frequency with which the public is notified of evacuation procedures are both incident driven. The times may change depending on whether it is an immediate or long term evacuation. . The time it takes to complete an evacuation is also incident driven depending on the type of hazard. . Transportation and traffic routes will be severely and negatively affected by the evacuation . Many evacuees will require provision of transportation. . The health-related implications of an incident may aggravate or impair attempts to implement a coordinated evacuation management strategy. Target Capabilities List 389 RESPOND MISSION: CITIZEN EVACUATION AND SHELTER-IN-PLACE RESPOND MISSION: CITIZEN EVACUATION AND SHELTER-IN-PLACE RESPOND MISSION: CITIZEN EVACUATION AND SHELTER-IN-PLACE . Public anxiety and stress will result from evacuations, requiring mental health services, appropriate risk communications, and public education/instruction. . Local jurisdictional resources will be quickly overwhelmed and will require mutual aid from other jurisdictions and support from Federal, State, and regional agencies. . Through memoranda of understanding (MOUs) incorporated into planning, adjacent communities will be prepared to handle significant numbers of evacuees from affected areas. These host communities also will identify resources, personnel, and equipment to shelter and support evacuees. . Pre-event identification of shelter sites has been planned for by emergency management agencies and MOUs are in place for use of the facilities. . Although shelters will require a minimum time for setup and activation, populations will require services immediately on evacuation, notably those for special needs populations and containment. . For shelter-in-place, evacuation, sheltering, and reentry planning, each jurisdiction has unique hazards and unique resources. Capabilities for at-risk populations are based on jurisdictional hazard vulnerability analysis. Plans (including emergency operations plans), procedures, mutual aid agreement, and so forth must be in place to support effective evacuation and sheltering, dependent on the hazard/risk analysis and the resources available for the at-risk population. The measurement for this capability is: Can the jurisdiction evacuate and/or shelter the at-risk population and, if they cannot, what actions will procure/garner adequate resources for them? Scenario-Specific . A large amount of the chemical chlorine has been released into the atmosphere (a plume) and is disbursed in a widely populated area. Decontamination of evacuees will require additional resources and triage areas before citizens can be sheltered; therefore, fire/emergency medical services (EMS), hospitals, and HazMat teams will be required to decontaminate evacuees. . Local and regional resources will be quickly overwhelmed and require State and Federal assistance. . Long-term sheltering and decontamination will be required. . City/jurisdiction is a large urban area with a network of streets and highways. Within the affected area, the evacuation and reentry routes and zones encompass 25 major intersections in a 25-mile evacuation radius. . Approximately 25 percent of the evacuated population will require shelter. The remaining populations will self-evacuate and arrange own shelter. . Approximately one percent of the 25 percent of the evacuated populations are special need populations and will require medical shelters and appropriate transportation.

Isolation of ill individuals may occur in homes, hospitals, designated health care facilities, or alternate facilities. Quarantine refers to the separation and restriction of movement of persons who, while not yet ill, have been exposed to an infectious agent and may become infectious. Successful implementation will require that sufficient legal, logistical, and informational support exists to maintain these measures. Most experts feel that isolation and quarantine will not stop the outbreak and that if used, the focus will be on cases that might introduce the disease into the State or other geographic area. Outcome Individuals who are ill, exposed, or likely to be exposed are separated, movement is restricted, basic necessities of life are available, and their health is monitored in order to limit the spread of a newly introduced contagious disease (e.g., pandemic influenza). Legal authority for those measures is clearly defined and communicated to all responding agencies and the public. Logistical support is provided to maintain measures until danger of contagion has elapsed.

They include regional health officers to provide clinical, epidemiologic, and programmatic support, and quarantine public health officers to conduct surveillance, response, and communicable disease prevention activities. WHO also provides quarantine stations. Planning Assumptions . Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the pandemic influenza and plague scenarios. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . Isolation and quarantine deals specifically with infectious diseases. . Isolation and quarantine deals specifically with separation of individuals rather than prohibition on structures. . This capability refinement addresses community separation and not hospitalized patients. . Recognition and assessment of exposure to an illness is an epidemiological function. . 50 percent of infected persons are asymptomatic shedders of the influenza virus. . Shedding of the virus occurs 24 hours before the development of symptoms. . Cases are occurring in a single wave over 8 weeks. The response is an evolving process – it has a phased approach. . Number of days in quarantine are 10 to 14 days (epidemiological evidence may allow for a reduction in this time). . Number of days in isolation varies by age (7 days for adults; 14 days for children). . World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic influenza phase: Phases 1 and 2 are interpandemic; 3, 4, and 5 are pandemic alert; 6 is pandemic period. General preparedness activities have occurred in WHO Phases 1 – 3. . WHO Phase 1 – 3: General Preparedness activities. . In WHO Phase 4, cases are occurring outside of the USA. . WHO Phase 4, if there is extensive trade or travel links with the affected country, and WHO Phase 5, are the most important when considering isolation and quarantine. . WHO Phase 5 is larger clusters, more transmission, suggesting that the virus is becoming more adoptive to human transmission. . WHO Phase 5 is most important when considering Isolation and Quarantine. . Set up isolation/quarantine stations in each foreign country that is a source of the infection. . Under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), there are 83 tier 1 cities in the United States (i.e. airports with more than 1 million travelers, seaports with more than 100k travelers, or land borders with more than 5 million crossings); currently there are isolation/quarantine stations in 18 of these cities. . Screening for inbound/outbound flights will be needed. Target Capabilities List 403 RESPOND MISSION: ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE RESPOND MISSION: ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE RESPOND MISSION: ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE . WHO Phase 6: try and isolate 10 cases per million population. Sustained community transmission is assumed to be occurring when cases exceed 10 per million population. . Attempt to quarantine 30 contacts per case (300 contacts per 1 million population). . This will be community based rather than hospitalized patients. . Closing of public venues may be retained here. . There is a high Percent of absenteeism related to medical, traditional first responder, and public health personnel. . Isolation orders will be based on a case definition, not strictly on laboratory test results. . At least eight other countries are affected. . Resources for provision of mental health services are not defined in this capability. . Resources for provision of law enforcement are not defined in this capability. . Resources for public information are not defined in this capability. Planning Factors from an In-Depth Analysis of a Scenario with Significant Demand for the Capability (Pandemic Influenza and Plague) Resource Organization Estimated Capacity Scenario Requirement Values Quantity of Resources Needed Community Isolation/and Quarantine Team One per 20 persons isolated or quarantined Isolate 10 per million population; quarantine 300 per million population. Current population of the USA is 297 million. Need to isolate 2970 persons and quarantine 89,100 persons. Total 92,070, divided by 20 =4,604. Could be reduced by number of hospital isolations — need to cross- reference with Health Resources and Services Administration. Quarantine Station Two per city can provide isolation and quarantine services to inbound and outbound passengers 83 Tier One cities Two per 83 Tier One Cities, plus one per affected overseas country. Approaches for Large-Scale Events . Community Isolation/Quarantine Teams need to be situated locally. . Federal Quarantine Stations need to be located in tier 1 cities (those that have airports with more than 1 million travelers, seaports with more than 100,000 travelers, or land borders with more than 5 million crossings). Note that 18 Federal Quarantine Stations currently exist in tier 1 cities.

Although applicable to several of the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the capability planning factors were developed from an in-depth analysis of the Toxic Industrial Chemical scenario. Other scenarios were reviewed to identify required adjustments or additions to the planning factors and national targets. . This capability applies to a wide range of incidents and emergencies, including improvised nuclear devices, toxic industrial chemical scenarios, major earthquakes or hurricanes, and radiological dispersal devices. The primary condition affecting the performance of the capability is whether the incident requires an urban search and rescue or water search and rescue. For urban search and rescue, conditions affecting the performance include the number and size of collapsed structures, number of trapped persons in collapsed structures, and any risks involved for the rescuers (including fire and potential hazardous materials (hazmat) exposure). . Local response time: 0–2 hours . Regional response time: 2–17 hours . State response time: 12–24 hours . Federal response time: 24+ hours . Given that SAR is extremely time-sensitive, initial operations will be undertaken by State and local responders and those volunteer personnel willing to assist in locating victims. If the catastrophic incident involves collapsed buildings, national SAR task force response assets will immediately deploy in accordance with the Catastrophic Incident Response Execution Schedule (Annex 1). . All injuries and fatalities need to be extricated. . All locations need hazmat assessment for proper personal protective equipment (PPE). . Typical fire and hazmat response has PPE to extricate lightly trapped victims. . US&R strike teams begin to extricate moderately trapped victims. . US&R task forces extricate heavily trapped victims. . Trapped victims surviving the initial exposure will be viable. . Trapped victims have the best chance of survival if they are rescued within 72 hours. They may survive up to 14 days if provided drinking water. . The doctrine of “do no additional harm” will apply to all SAR operations. Urban search and rescue personnel will take into consideration the dangers of contamination and unstable physical structures before entering into an area that may contain surviving victims and will take appropriate safety and protective measures before commencing operations. Target Capabilities List 415 RESPOND MISSION: SEARCH AND RESCUE (LAND-BASED) RESPOND MISSION: SEARCH AND RESCUE (LAND-BASED RESPOND MISSION: SEARCH AND RESCUE (LAND-BASED . The size of the jurisdiction and the risks/threats presented will determine how extensive the SAR capability needs to be. . Jurisdictions may be able to obtain SAR resources that are sufficient to meet that jurisdiction’s needs from elsewhere. . Training should be commensurate with population and risk. . SAR resources may not be available due to other incidents or activities in the area. . Location, distance, available transportation, and weather affect how quickly SAR resources can reach the scene. . Type of SAR resources deploying will affect what type of equipment it has and how long it can conduct SAR operations without re-supply. . When there is a base camp with sufficient resources SAR teams may not need to be self-sustaining. . Hazardous conditions, weather, size of area, scope, access, criminal activity (hazard) determines level of work-area access and efficiency with which areas can be searched for victims. . Complexity and circumstances of the entrapment affects the amount of time required to safely access, stabilize, and extricate victim. . Not all SAR resources have integrated confined space medical components thus the care available to the victim will depend on the type of SAR team providing treatment throughout the extrication process. . Intensity of equipment and personnel utilization will increase or decrease duration each US&R capability is able to work. . The level of effort required to restore (or replace) equipment cache items will depend on how heavily they were used and the extent to which they need to be decontaminated/cleaned.

RESPOND MISSION: SEARCH AND RESCUE (LAND-BASED) Target Capabilities List 419 This page intentionally left blank Target Capabilities List EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION AND WARNING Capability Definition The Emergency Public Information and Warning capability includes public information, alert/warning and notification. It involves developing, coordinating, and disseminating information to the public, coordinating officials, and incident management and responders across all jurisdictions and disciplines effectively under all hazard conditions. (a) The term “public information” refers to any text, voice, video, or other information provided by an authorized official and includes both general information and crisis and emergency risk communication (CERC) activities. CERC incorporates the urgency of disaster communication with risk communication to influence behavior and adherence to directives. (b) The term “alert” refers to any text, voice, video, or other information provided by an authorized official to provide situational awareness to the public and/or private sector about a potential or ongoing emergency situation that may require actions to protect life, health, and property. An alert does not necessarily require immediate actions to protect life, health, and property and is typically issued in connection with immediate danger. (c) The term “warning” refers to any text, voice, video, or other information provided by an authorized official to provide direction to the public and/or private sector about an ongoing emergency situation that requires immediate actions to protect life, health, and property. A warning requires immediate actions to protect life, health, and property and is typically issued when there is a confirmed threat posing an immediate danger to the public. (d) The term “notification” refers to any process where Federal, State, local, tribal, and nongovernmental organization, department, and/or agency employees and/or associates are informed of an emergency situation that may require a response from those notified. Outcome Government agencies and public and private sectors receive and transmit coordinated, prompt, useful, and reliable information regarding threats to their health, safety, and property, through clear, consistent information-delivery systems. This information is updated regularly and outlines protective measures that can be taken by individuals and their communities.
