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.
