This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. By preparing their families and property before an event, people can reduce a disaster's impact on them and their need for first responders, esp. in the first 72 hours following a disaster. FEMA developed a national preparedness system (NPS) and included community preparedness programs as part of the NPS. These programs include the Citizen Corps program and its partner programs, such as Fire Corps, and rely on volunteers to assist first responders in local communities. This testimony discusses: (1) challenges FEMA faces in measuring the performance of Citizen Corps and the Ready Campaign: and (2) actions FEMA has taken to develop a strategy to encompass how Citizen Corps and the Ready Campaign operate within the context of the NPS.

They include the Citizen Corps Program (CCP) and partner programs, e.g., Fire Corps, which provide volunteers to assist first responders. This report reviewed federal efforts to promote community preparedness. It addressed: (1) challenges, if any, FEMA faces in measuring the performance of CCP, its partner programs, and the Ready Campaign; and (2) actions, if any, FEMA has taken to develop a strategy to encompass how these programs are to operate within the context of the NPS.

"Individuals can reduce their need for first responder assistance by preparing for a disaster. By law, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is to develop a National Preparedness System (NPS) that includes community preparedness programs. These programs account for less than 0.5 percent of FEMA's budget. They include the Citizen Corps Program (CCP) and partner programs, e.g., Fire Corps, which provide volunteers to assist first responders. FEMA's Ready Campaign promotes preparedness through mass media. GAO was asked to review federal efforts to promote community preparedness. GAO was asked to address (1) challenges, if any, FEMA faces in measuring the performance of CCP, its partner programs, and the Ready Campaign, and (2) actions, if any, FEMA has taken to develop a strategy to encompass how these programs are to operate within the context of the NPS. GAO analyzed documents on preparedness plans and strategies and compared reported performance data with observations during 12 site visits, selected primarily on the basis of major disasters. While not projectable, the results add insight."

This report discusses Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM), as federal law and a program activity, which began in 1997. Congress established a pilot program -- Project Impact -- to test the concept of investing prior to disasters to reduce the vulnerability of communities to future disasters. From its beginnings as ¿Project Impact¿ to its current state, the PDM program has grown in its level of appropriated resources and the scope of participation nationwide. Along with that growth have come issues for Congressional consideration, including the approach for awarding grant funds, the eligibility of certain applicants, the eligibility of certain projects, the degree of commitment by state and local governments, and related questions.

FEMA has the statutory authority to deliver numerous disaster and non-disaster financial assistance programs in support of its mission, and that of the Department of Homeland Security, largely through grants and cooperative agreements. These programs account for a significant amount of the federal funds for which FEMA is accountable. FEMA officials are responsible and accountable for the proper administration of these funds pursuant to federal laws and regulations, Office of Management and Budget circulars, and federal appropriations law principles.
