2022 National Preparedness Report

The “2022 National Preparedness Report” summarizes progress made, and challenges that remain, in building and sustaining the capabilities needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats, hazards and incidents that pose the greatest risk to the nation. For this report, FEMA examined the incidents of 2021 to draw broader conclusions about national risk and capability gaps and identified management opportunities to build those capabilities and reduce risk. This annual report offers all levels of government, tribes, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public practical insights into preparedness that support decisions about program priorities, resource allocations, and actions that can create more resilient communities.
