Performance Measure 8

Percent of recipients that have provided an opportunity for each HCC to review and provide input to the recipient’s ESF-8 response plan

Goal or Target

SPPR will establish a baseline based on performance data collected in initial fiscal years, which will be used to set targets and goals for subsequent years.

Operational Intent

One of the key components of successful community preparedness is a shared understanding of the roles and processes for preparing and responding to emergencies. This measure will assess engagement of HCCs in the recipient-level ESF-8 response plans.

Data Reporting

During the specified time period for end-of-year reporting, recipients should enter this information into the end-of-year performance measure module in PERFORMS. SPPR will calculate percentages.
