assistance under this Act, the Governor shall take appropriate
response action under State law and direct execution of the
State’s emergency plan. The Governor shall furnish information
on the nature and amount of State and local resources which
have been or will be committed to alleviating the results of the
disaster, and shall certify that, for the current disaster, State and
local government obligations and expenditures (of which State
commitments must be a significant proportion) will comply with

· National Prevention Framework
The purpose of this page is to provide information on the
National Prevention Framework. The National Incident
Management System is intended to be used by the whole
community. The intended audience for this page is individuals,
families, communities, the private and nonprofit sectors, faith-
based organizations, and local, state, tribal, territorial, insular
area, and Federal governments.
Collapse All Sections
National Prevention Framework
Preventing terrorism cannot be done by police and intelligence
officers alone. Individual citizens and businesses, for example,
play important roles in information sharing and other actions
related to preventing imminent terrorist attacks.
These roles and examples of prevention-related activities are
covered in the first edition of the National Prevention
Framework.The document provides context for how the whole
community works together and how prevention is an important
part of national preparedness.
It is one of the five documents in a suite of National Planning
Frameworks. Each Framework covers one preparedness mission
area: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response or Recovery.

· National Planning Frameworks Overview
· National Prevention Framework
· National Prevention Framework Information Sheet
Focus On Imminent Terrorist Threats And Attacks
While “prevention” may be a common term, it has specific
meaning in the context of the Framework and the National
Preparedness Goal. The Prevention Framework covers the
capabilities necessary to avoid, prevent or stop a threatened or
actual act of terrorism.
Though the other Frameworks focus on all hazards, including
natural disasters, the Prevention Framework focuses solely on

8. terrorist activities—and specifically on imminent acts of
terrorism on U.S. soil. Imminent means we have intelligence or
information that warns of a credible, specific, and impending
terrorist threat or an ongoing attack on the United States.
Terrorism-related national preparedness efforts, such as
installing concrete barriers or other physical security around a
building to shield it from a road-side bomb, would be covered
in the other Frameworks.
The Prevention Framework can help every U.S. citizen and
resident but is intended to be especially useful for government
leaders and people who have a responsibility to prevent terrorist
attacks on the homeland.
Prevention Core Capabilities
Core capabilities are the distinct elements needed to achieve the
National Preparedness Goal. The Prevention Framework
describes each of its seven core capabilities and lists critical
tasks for each one. The capabilities, followed by a critical task
example, are listed below.
· Intelligence and Information Sharing. Planning and Direction:
Establish the intelligence and information requirements of the
consumer.
· Screening, Search and Detection. Locate persons and networks
associated with imminent terrorist threats.
· Interdiction and Disruption. Disrupt terrorist financing or
prevent other material support from reaching its target.
· Forensics and Attribution. Preserve the crime scene and
conduct site exploitation for intelligence collection.
· Planning. Initiate a time-sensitive, flexible planning process
that builds on existing plans and incorporates real-time
intelligence.
· Public Information and Warning. Refine and consider options
to release pre-event information publicly, and take action
accordingly.
· Operational Coordination. Define and communicate clear roles
and responsibilities relative to courses of action.
