§745 National Planning Scenarios

Summary

The Administrator can create planning scenarios, working with other federal agency leaders and the National Advisory Council. These scenarios must cover all kinds of hazards, like natural disasters, terrorism, and other man-made events. They are used to help set and adjust the response skills and capability targets needed to meet the national preparedness goal. When making, updating, or replacing scenarios, the Administrator must make sure they show how risky different hazards are and how big and complex they could be. The scenarios should be the fewest needed to define the tasks and capability levels required to respond to all hazards.
