FEMA has released the 2014 National Preparedness Report (NPR), its annual report on the nation’s progress toward reaching the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation. The NPR identifies national areas of sustainment and improvement across the 31 core capabilities for achieving the goal. Among the national areas for improvement are calls for developing a well-trained cybersecurity workforce, addressing the challenges posed to critical infrastructure by electrical power losses and aging systems, and long-term vulnerability reduction.
