Relationship to Other Mission Areas

As we discussed in the first lesson, the National Preparedness Goal sets the vision for preparedness nationwide and identifies the core capabilities necessary to achieve that vision across the five mission areas:

  • Prevention
  • Protection
  • Mitigation
  • Response
  • Recovery

So far, we’ve specifically looked at the Prevention mission area. However, the Prevention coordinating structures and organizations contribute directly to activities and inform efforts within the other mission areas.
