EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT association OF TEXAS

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released the new set of 48 Core Capability Development Sheets updated with standardized capability targets and newly released resource types.

First released in June 2017, each Core Capability Development Sheet provides the core capability definition and tasks, relevant trainings, example capability targets, typed resources, critical planning partners, validation techniques, and additional organizations that support the development of the specific core capability. By using this information, jurisdictions can improve their capabilities and close gaps identified in the Stakeholder Preparedness Review or other assessments.

The FEMA Core Capability Development Sheets are posted on the FEMA Technical Assistance Program Web site (https://www.fema.gov/fema-technical-assistance-program) and on MAX.gov in the password-protected Unified Reporting Tool that state, local, tribal, and territorial jurisdictions use to develop their Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment.
