§745 National Planning Scenarios

Summary

The Administrator may work with heads of federal agencies and the National Advisory Council to create planning scenarios. These scenarios cover risks from all hazards, such as natural disasters, terrorism, and other man-made events, and help guide the flexible development of needed capabilities and the levels required to meet the national preparedness goal. When creating or updating scenarios, the Administrator must make sure they match how likely and serious different hazards are and show how big and complex representative events could be. The scenarios must use the smallest number of examples needed to identify the tasks and capability levels required to respond to all hazards.
