Difference Between Response to Destruction By Terrorist and Natural Disaster Previous to the National Response network there were various differences on how and when agencies responded to incidents by terrorist groups or natural disasters. Prior to the 11 September 2001 attack on the Pentagon, the plane crash in Pennsylvania, the World Trade Center, and the 2005 Hurricanes Rita and Katrina the Federal Response Plan existed which primarily focused on the Federal roles and responsibilities during an emergency or disaster incident. By using the lessons learned and the response to the hurricane season in 2005 the National Response Plan was replaced by the Federal Response Plan. The United States has dealt with a number of unprecedented disasters and emergencies from small incidents to major catastrophes. The development of the National Response Framework (NRF) lays out the blueprint to deal with any disaster or incident regardless of the size, or scope, of the event whether from potential/actual terrorist attack or natural disaster (NRF, 2008).

...NRF Preparedness Cycle The National Response Framework (NRF) is the Nation’s guide on how to conduct effective responses through all-hazards. The strategic framework is built upon a foundation adaptable coordinating structures that are scalable, flexible, and to align key roles and responsibilities across the Nation. The NRF defines specific authorities and best exercises for managing incidents that range from the serious but merely local, to surprise terrorist attacks or catastrophic natural disasters. The document explains the common discipline and structures that have been implemented and developed at the local, tribal, State, and national levels over time. It explains strategic lessons gained from natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, concentrating particularly on how the Federal Government is organized to aid local communities and States in devastating incidents. First and foremost, it contributes to the National Incident Management System (NIMS), which offers a stable template for managing incidents at all levels of government. (Office of the Press Secretary, 2008) The sole purpose of the 90-page document is to ensure that government executives, private sector, nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident.

...strengthening of ethics and integrity. The government has implemented the Prime Minister's Directive No. I of 1998 which aims to enhance the integrity of the management in government administration. This has been done namely through the setting up of the Integrity Management Committee in all ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government as well as the State Governments. However, there is no mechanism thus far to involve other sectors, such as the private sector, political parties, non-government organizations, religious groups, the media, women, youth and students in an integrated and coordinated movement to enhance integrity. It is in this regard that the government has formulated the National Integrity Plan (NIP) which will act as a master plan to guide all of the above sectors. The formulation of the NIP is predicated upon the spirit and principles of the Federal Constitution, the philosophy and principles of the Rukun Negara as well as the aspirations of Vision 2020. The overall objective of the NIP is to fulfill the fourth challenge of Vision 2020, namely, "to establish a fully moral and ethical society whose citizens are strong in religious and spiritual values and imbued with the highest ethical standards." The NIP is an integrity plan that has evolved from the aspirations of our people and our country. It has been formulated in accordance with our own mould with Malaysians of all ethnic and religious groups as its stakeholders. The plan takes into...

Once you have your long term goal create short term goals to help accomplish your long term goal. I love short term goals because they help keep me motivated and looking forward.
