Homeland Security Act of 2002 and The Federal Response to Hurricane
Katrina: Lessons Learned
Provides the USG a national, interagency-wide program and a multi-year
planning system to focus, coordinate, plan, conduct, execute, evaluate, andprioritize national security and homeland security preparedness-related
exercises activities
Works as the primary mechanism to improve delivery of Federal
preparedness assistances to State and local governments
Strengthening preparedness capabilities of Federal, State, and local entities
Incorporates Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program
(HSEEP) methodology
In response to presidential and congressional requirements, the Homeland Security Councilin

Homeland Security
NEP shall serve as the principal mechanism for:
Examining the preparation of the USG and its officers and other officials
Adopting policy changes that might improve such preparation
NLEs and PLEs will reflect U.S. Government-wide priorities, not single
Department or Agency programs
Focus of NEP exercises:
Designed for participation of heads of Federal departments and agencies
and other key officials
Examine and evaluate emerging national-level policy issues
NEP directs Agencys to adequately resource for and participate in exercises at
directed levels

Regional Exercise Support Program
(RESP) Background One of the overarching National Priorities is Expanded Regional
Collaboration, as any major incident will require regional
collaboration
The goal of this priority is to expand regional collaborationthrough mutual-aid agreements and assistance compacts to meet
the target levels of capability in the most effective and expedient
manner
The NEP Regional Exercise Support Program (RESP)
encourages Expanded Regional Collaboration

RESP (continued) The goal of the RESP is to utilize the ten FEMA Regions to meet
program needs and facilitate interaction with regional
counterparts
The exercises conducted will be designed and developed to
validate Federal, State, and Urban Area strategies, plans,
policies, procedures, and synchronized capabilities

Regional TEPW Following the Regional TEPW, the exercise schedule will be
loaded into the National Exercise Schedule (NEXS), an
application that serves as the Nations tool for scheduling and
synchronizing all national, Federal, State, local, tribal, and
territorial exercises
This centralized training and exercise schedule is critical to
implementing any training and exercise plan and enhances
collaboration among all levels of government
The NEXS will help the U.S. Government review progress toward
achieving expanded regional collaboration

Corrective Action Program (CAP)
The Corrective Action Program (CAP) provides the basis forsystematically identifying, analyzing, and monitoring the
implementation of initiatives aimed at resolving deficiencies
uncovered in exercises, training events, real-world events,
and policy discussions.
The CAP provides a systematic means for overcoming the
perennial problem of observing the same issues repeatedly
characterized as lessons learned in reports compiled
following NEP exercises and major events.
