The purpose of this NIMS Alert is to announce the release of the 2014 National Protection Framework. The National Protection Framework describes what the whole community should do to safeguard against acts of terrorism, natural disasters, and other threats or hazards. The whole community includes—individuals (including those with disabilities and others with access and functional needs), businesses and nonprofits, faith-based and community groups, schools, and all levels of government. The Protection Framework also describes the core capabilities; roles and responsibilities; and coordinating structures that facilitate the protection of individuals, communities, and the Nation. This Framework is focused on actions to protect against the greatest risks in a manner that allows American interests, aspirations, and way of life to thrive.
FEMA is hosting a series of virtual roundtables to discuss the National Protection Framework and the 2013 National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). All webinars will be open to the whole community. These virtual roundtables will provide an overview on how to develop and implement protection plans under the guidance of the National Protection Framework and the NIPP.
The National Protection Framework is publicly accessible here: http://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness/national-protection-framework.
The National Infrastructure Protection Plan is publicly accessible here:
