TCL Update Project
• Update content to reflect current policies, guidance, capabilities
• Establish ‘frameworks’ that are more user-friendly, especially for TCL
application to preparedness decision making
• Strengthen the role of a jurisdiction’s unique risks and circumstances
• Establish measurable targets for planning and assessment purposes
• Provide an objective means to justify investments and priorities
• Provide strong links among applicable standards, Federal policies and
guidance, and terminologies
• Help synchronize administrative and programmatic reporting
• Promote mutual aid and resource sharing
• Promote integration across programs along the preparedness lifecycle
Impacts from the TCL Update
• Individual capabilities will be implemented on a rolling basis as they
are developed until the entire TCL is updated
• TCL updates will be reflected or referenced within federal
preparedness programs (e.g., grant investment justifications,
planning guidance, exercise evaluation guides, assessments)
• The TCL provides guidance for building and measuring capabilities,
it is not meant to prescribe how to perform operations or to be
viewed as a standard
• Entities are not expected to deliver a capability by itself – rather it is
anticipated for capabilities to be met through mutual aid and regional
collaboration.
Updated Frameworks Under Development
From the original 37 capabilities, the following six (6) are under development to
test the means for updating the TCL:
• Animal Disease Emergencies
• Multi-Agency Coordination/Emergency Operations Center Management
• Intelligence
• Mass Transit Protection
• Incident Command
• Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)/Hazardous Materials (HazMat)
Rescue
FEMA convened Technical Working Groups comprised of local officials
from all Regions of the country to develop the first set of draft
Frameworks being circulated for a wider national review
Target Capability Frameworks
A Target Capability Framework comprises three charts: Performance
Classes, Performance Objectives, and Resource Elements
Performance Classes: Examples
WMD/HazMat Rescue
Risk Factors Class I Class IV
Population Cities and Counties with population Cities / Counties with population
greater than 3 million between 100,000 and 500,000
Population Density Cities / Counties with population less
than 100,000 and density greater than
2,500 people per square mile
Critical Infrastructure
Chemical
Animal Disease Emergencies
Risk Factors Class I Class IV
Yearly Sales Value of States with yearly sales of Counties and tribes with yearly
Livestock, Poultry, livestock, poultry, and their sales of livestock, poultry, and
and their Products products of greater than $5 billion. their products of greater than $50
million.
Animal Population States with greater than X Counties and tribes with greater
Density concentrated feeding operations than X concentrated feeding
operations
Gap Analysis Program (GAP)
GAP Critical Areas:
1. Transportation and
Evacuation
2. Communications
3. Temporary Emergency
Power
4. Mass-Care and Emergency
Assistance
5. Logistics Management and
Resource Support
6. Public Health
7. Search and Rescue
The purpose of the FEMA Gap Analysis Program is to engage State, Federal,
and other partners in a process that identifies and addresses shortfalls in
meeting disaster resource and planning requirements. Gaps are identified by
comparing current capabilities to disaster response requirements.
Comprehensive Assessment System (CAS)
“A Comprehensive Assessment System (CAS) that assesses, on an ongoing basis,
the Nation’s overall preparedness, including operational readiness.”
– PKEMRA 649(a)
REQUIREMENTS OUTCOMES
Assess compliance with the national Analysis and information that:
preparedness system, National Incident Informs the Federal Preparedness
Management System, National Report (FPR), State Preparedness
Response Plan, and other related plans Reports (SPR), and, ultimately, National
and strategies (PKEMRA 649 (c)(1)) Preparedness Report (NPR)
Assess capability levels at the time of Helps set policy requirements and
assessment against target capability allocate finite resources
levels (PKEMRA 649 (c)(2))

Assess resource needs to meet Directorate (GPD) Cost-to-Capability
desired target capability levels (C2C) Initiative

National Incident Management System
2008
1st edition NIMS Guidance Document issued in 2004
2nd edition NIMS Guidance Document issued in 2008
2008 NIMS Document:
• Preparedness
• Communications and Information Management
• Resource Management
• Command and Management
• Ongoing Management and Maintence
National Incident Management System
2008 Changes
Preparedness:
Additional roles of elected and appointed officials to define their
responsibilities prior to and during an incident
Added key roles of NGOs and private sector, detailing how they should
be integrated into preparedness efforts
Communications & Information Management
This component was heavily revised to better articulate the importance
of communications and information management and is now comprised
of three main sections.
Resource Management
The majority of the concept and principles within this component
remained unchanged; however, clarifying language was added
wherever possible to ensure readability.
National Incident Management System
2008 Changes
Command and Management
Clarified the purpose of Area Command and how it fits into ICS
Expanded the Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) section to
better define the process of Multiagency Coordination and the elements
that make up the System
Replaced the term MAC Entities with MAC Groups
Major system elements within MACS now include Emergency
Operation Centers (EOCs) and communications/dispatch centers.
Ongoing Management and Maintenance
As part of the restructuring of the component, the Supporting
Technologies chapter of the 2004 NIMS was moved into the Ongoing
Management and Maintenance Component in the 2008 version.

Community Preparedness
2 primary components
Volunteer programs Citizen Preparedness
(i.e., Citizen Corps) (i.e., Individual and Family
preparedness)
Why is it critical to involve the Community?
• Less than 1% of the
U.S. population is an
emergency responder
• In 95% of situations,
victim/ bystander first
to respond
Journal of Emergency Medical Services (2004); National Fire Protection
Association (2003); National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (2003)
Citizen Corps Partners
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program
educates and trains citizens in basic disaster response skills
Fire Corps promotes the use of citizen advocates to provide support to
fire and rescue departments
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program helps medical, public
health, and other volunteers offer their expertise
Neighborhood Watch/USAonWatch incorporates terrorism
awareness education into its existing crime prevention mission
Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) works to enhance the capacity of
state and local law enforcement to utilize volunteers
