To achieve this purpose, the EMBAG supports voluntary national-level standards and peer review assessment processes that jurisdictions can use to identify the capacity and shortfalls of their emergency management programs and professionals and develop a path to compliance. These national-level standards fall under “other assistance” of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to “build tribal, local, State, regional, and national capabilities necessary to respond to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster.”
The EMBAG specifically supports:
- The development, maintenance, update, revision, and enhancement of voluntary national-level standards and peer review assessment processes for emergency preparedness and response that are driven, established, validated, and revised through consensus;
- Related efforts to develop or update national-level accreditation for these standards; and
- The assessment of select state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management programs and professionals against these national-level standards.
