Achieving Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness

AI Summary: This is a policy document - specifically an Executive Order that provides a comprehensive framework for improving national resilience and preparedness across federal, state, and local levels. This regulation establishes a new approach to national security and infrastructure preparedness by empowering state and local governments to take more active roles in risk management and resilience planning. The order requires several key actions, including developing a National Resilience Strategy within 90 days, conducting comprehensive reviews of existing critical infrastructure and national continuity policies within 180 days, and creating a National Risk Register within 240 days. The document directs federal agencies, particularly the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, to streamline preparedness operations, update government policies to reduce complexity, and shift from an "all-hazards" approach to a more targeted, risk-informed strategy. The order emphasizes making infrastructure investments more efficient, reducing taxpayer burdens, and enabling state and local governments to better understand and address their citizens' needs through more localized and precise risk assessment and management.
