Introduction to the 2006 Program and Capabilities Review Process Kyle Karsjen Homeland Security Planner

Introduction: 

Introduction DHS released the Interim National Preparedness Goal in March 2005 Goal represents a significant evolution in the approach to preparedness and homeland security Goal represents a collective vision for National Preparedness

Paradigm Shift: 

Past Years: This Year: “The Cart”: Grant Award “The Cart”: Grant Award “The Horse”: Homeland Security Grant Program Applications “The Horse”: Homeland Security Grant Program Applications Paradigm Shift

Program and Capability Review: 

Program and Capability Review Intended to help States align homeland security programs with the Goal, Priorities and priority TCLs Enables States to identify current program strengths and weaknesses through a qualitative process

Program and Capability Review – What It Is: 

Program and Capability Review – What It Is Qualitative assessment of where Iowa sits today based on the capability priorities Chance for multiple disciplines to collaborate with each other to define a direction for securing the State

Slide6: 

How prepared are we? How prepared do we need to be? How do we prioritize efforts to close the gap?

Review – What It Is Not: 

Review – What It Is Not Not a requirement to submit an exhaustive list of statewide capabilities Does not require a quantitative assessment process

4 Main Pieces: 

4 Main Pieces Program Review Capability Review Enhancement Plan Investment Justification

Program Review: 

Program Review Mechanism for strengthening State homeland security program management States will self-assess and gauge current program capacity, baseline operations and future program needs

Program Review (Cont’d): 

Program Review (Cont’d) Is the State program executing the appropriate activities to operate and manage the homeland security program? Has the State organized itself and established governance structures to effectively manage those activities?

Program Review Purpose: 

Program Review Purpose States will gauge progress toward the 3 overarching National Priorities and identify gaps to address and efforts to sustain Expanded regional collaboration Implementation of the NIMS and NRP Implementation of the NIPP

Capability Review: 

Capability Review Based on the 8 capability areas that make up the 4 priority target capabilities found in the Goal Iowa can also evaluate the 5 capabilities that we listed as priorities in our Strategy update This review aids Iowa in evaluating strengths and weaknesses related to these capability areas

The Capability Review Process: 

The Capability Review Process Understand Capability Definition Understand Capability Outcomes Explore Discussion Points Use the Guidebook to… Output

Understand Capability Definitions and Outcomes: 

Understand Capability Definitions and Outcomes Each capability contains a definition Provides high-level descriptor of the capability Links to the Target Capabilities List Each capability contains an outcome Outlines the result of a State’s performance of one or more tasks identified in the capability definition Links to a National Priority and/or State-specific Priority

Capability Discussion Points: 

Capability Discussion Points For each Capability, the Guidebook includes a series of discussion points to help guide the working group’s conversation Based on critical tasks and measures included in Target Capabilities List Intended to serve as the basis for current capability evaluation Intended to guide the discussion of the capability; States are not required to answer each discussion point

TCLs: 

TCLs Capabilities are profiled in the Program and Capability Review Guidebook, Volume 1 Profiles include: Capability Definition Capability Outcome Capability Discussion Points

Intelligence/Information Sharing and Dissemination: 

Intelligence/Information Sharing and Dissemination Multi-jurisdictional, multidisciplinary exchange and dissemination of information and intelligence among stakeholders Effective and timely sharing of info and intel: All pertinent stakeholders are ID’d and incorporated into info flow through defined info sharing system Info flows vertically within law enforcement and other appropriate agencies in timely and effective manner Info flows across disciplines at all levels across jurisdictions in a timely and effective manner

Law Enforcement Investigation and Operations: 

Law Enforcement Investigation and Operations Successful deterrence, detection, disruption, investigation and apprehension of suspects in activities related to HLS LE able to carry out effective investigations of criminal/suspicious activity potentially related to terrorism LE effectively receive, develop and share information for investigation LE coordinate effectively with CI/KR and private sector officials LE develop and maintain incident response plans

LE Investigation/Ops (Cont’d): 

LE Investigation/Ops (Cont’d) Specialized units/personnel utilized for search, seizure and/or intervention and interdiction operations Appropriate investigative units and/or personnel are capable of functioning in potentially hazardous and CBRNE environments and situations
