As a companion document to HSPD-5, the National Preparedness Directive, issued Dec 17, 2003, establishes policies aimed at strengthening the preparedness of the United States to prevent and respond to threatened and actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies (see  Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8). It directs federal departments and agencies to:

• Develop a national domestic all-hazards preparedness goal, coordinated by DHS and implemented through the provision of federal preparedness assistance to state and local governments, preparation of first-responders, and measurements to assess preparedness
• Establish mechanisms for improved delivery of federal preparedness assistance (eg, through planning, grants, cooperative agreements, loans, comprehensive training, homeland security preparednessrelated exercises, technical assistance, and equipment acquisition for major events) to state and local governments
• Strengthen preparedness capabilities of federal, state, and local entities by supporting actions that contribute to the national preparedness goal; this includes maintenance of teams, stockpiles, and caches consistent with requirements of the NRP and adoption of quantifiable performance measurements in the areas of training, planning, equipment, and exercises
