The goal and mission of the NDPC is to enable communities to address specific evolving and emerging threats and hazards and close capability gaps through development and delivery of learning solutions that strengthen the nations preparedness. The NDPC identifies, develops, tests, and delivers training to state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) emergency management and emergency response communities, provides on-site and mobile training at the performance, management, and planning levels, and facilitates the delivery of training by other training partners of FEMA and DHS. FEMA and NDPC members work together to address long-term trends that impact national preparedness - including rising disaster costs, new technology, an older and more diverse population, and emerging threats. The NDPC program objectives are: Strengthen community resilience through training that addresses threats to the homeland including natural, human-caused, and technological. Operate as an integrated, networked community of training partners that maximizes resources for the greatest achievable outcomes. Optimize residential and mobile training using innovative learning technology and training methods. Support FEMA strategic priorities to instill equity as a foundation of emergency management and lead whole of community climate resilience. FEMA is committed to reducing complexity, increasing efficiency, and improving outcomes. In simple terms, the training return on investment (ROI) is expressed as the benefit to cost ratio for individuals, teams, departments, jurisdictions, and regions across the nation to reach and maintain fully qualified/mission capable status. In practice, training ROI is difficult to measure. The cost of training varies significantly depending upon several variables including delivery format (i.e., online, indirect/train-the-trainer, mobile, resident/on-campus) and competency level (i.e., awareness, performance/operations, management). FEMA uses a systematic approach to optimize the national preparedness training portfolio, align resources to address capability gaps through the most effective and efficient means available, and ensure a sound ROI from the local to the national level. Collaboration with FEMAs training partners is integral to that effort.Applicants can submit applications for this funding opportunity through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO).
