Job Description

According to Presidential Policy Directive 8 : National Preparedness (PPD-8), the nation must maintain a level of preparedness for the full spectrum of hazards and threats which face the country.

National Preparedness requires efforts to be made across five mission areas : prevention, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) mandate is to build and maintain a capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Most of the preparedness efforts FEMA conducts are focused on all-hazards preparedness. Regardless of the cause, FEMA maintains the personnel, supplies, authorities, tools, and capabilities to respond to any hazard.

Challenges exist in executing the five mission areas against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) hazards.

A framework for chemical incident response will not necessarily work effectively against a nuclear detonation. Health effects and the recognition of those effects differ among each of the CBRN threats.

Different subject matter experts which may not reside within the Emergency Management community are required for each hazard to effectively advise the Agency on key critical decisions.

Medical countermeasures exist for some CBRN hazards, but not for others. Complexities exist when managing the consequences of intentional CBRN events in conjunction with law enforcement interdiction and investigations.

Depending upon a CBRN incident’s complexity and size, Stafford Act declarations may or may not occur, but still, require significant Federal interagency coordination and support to a designated Lead Federal Authority (LFA).

CBRN hazards, therefore, pose unique problem sets requiring a dedicated team to research, collaborate, advise, and develop solutions for effective and prompt emergency management decisions to save lives, property, and the environment.

The FEMA Response Directorate CBRN Office is dedicated to planning, preparing, and building capabilities required to respond to a CBRN threat or incident.

Unlike natural hazards, the impacts of a CBRN incident require FEMA to maintain unique capabilities to prepare for potential consequence management operations in the CBRN domain.

The intent of this analysis is to conduct a holistic review of the CBRN enterprise within the Office of Response and Recovery (ORR), and determine how these programs contribute to FEMA’s fulfillment of its statutory requirements and maintenance of its core operational capabilities.

The Response Directorate CBRN Office is a productive and well-run organization with a positive reputation amongst both internal and interagency partners.

Over the last several years, FEMA has established itself as a leader in the consequence management areas of CBRN operations - building relationships, establishing credibility, and injecting FEMA’s capabilities and concerns into the overall planning and preparedness processes.

The CBRN Office Strategic Plan describes the mission, strategic priorities and objectives of the CBRN Office based on the September 2015 Response Directorate and Office of Program and Policy Analysis Program and Budget Review.

This strategy addresses the importance of institutionalizing a centralized CBRN Office within FEMA, the significance of addressing both readiness and consequence management to CBRN threats, and to ensure efficient and effective business management practices to achieve key strategic priorities.
