Book excerpt: The 'National Preparedness Report' summarizes the progress made and challenges that remain in building and sustaining the capabilities needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats, hazards and incidents that pose the greatest risk to the Nation. As a requirement of the 'Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006' and a key element of the National Preparedness System, this annual report offers all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public practical insights into preparedness that support decisions about program priorities, resource allocation, and community actions. The '2019 National Preparedness Report (2019 Report)' presents an overview of the five preparedness mission areas--Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery-- and describes major findings identified through community-wide research and engagement.
