Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) calls for an annual National Preparedness Report (NPR) Summarizes the Nation’s progress in building, sustaining,

and delivering core capabilities described in the National Preparedness Goal

Provides a comprehensive, national-level evaluation of all 31 capabilities

Identifies national areas of strength and areas for improvement

State Perspectives on PreparednessStates and territories are required to report to FEMA annually on their level of preparedness

Since 2011, states have used the State Preparedness Report (SPR) tool to assess capabilities across all 31 core capabilities in the Goal.

In 2012, States and territories used the THIRA process to set targets for each core capability. The SPR measures their ability to achieve these targets.

The National Preparedness Report includes aggregate SPR data.
