"Having the speaker differentiate the differences between Bush Administration Frameworks and Capabilities to the new capabilities / frameworks was the single most important aspect."
"Doc Lumpkins gave a nice introductory presentation of PPD8. I'd like to see a discussion of how the various frameworks might be linked with a specific example."
"It helps to hear the terminology in context of the whole picture."

"Enhancements to the current status of disaster management to be inclusive of all populations and provides integration of organizations for common goals are critical. Specific metrics and incentives need to be delineated and monitored in order to be successful."

"Very good. I would like a copy of the powerpont and or recording if possible."
"Although I understand the concept, it seems like just more levels of planning which will result in greater effort by local asset when they are already stretched. We haven't even gotten alot of the previous plans implement in the trenches. What we need to do is simplify the process. There are parts of our response teams (nuclear power) that don't even use ICS and NIMS. FEMA grades us on a system that is 30 to 40 years old. We have along way to go."

"I have had the opportunity to hear as well as talk directly with Doc on this topic and note with great pleasure that he is consistent, straight-foward, and honest. It is refreshing to see this direction for the federal government and to identify this as the "Nation's Preparedness" thus focused on the essential relationships of all levels of government; local, state and federal. Doc is perfect to lead, direct and provide guidance for this initative. His experience of actually working at the local, state and federal level is his strength.
Excellent presentation. (His Mom would be very proud!!)"

"It would be helpful to understand how each componet replaces existing guidance such as the TCL. Has this been replaced with the Core Capabilities? Has teh 15 National Planning Componets been replaced? Does Emergency Manangement now have five mission areas instead of four? Thank you."

"The concepts of the National Preparedness System were well presented at a high level. The speaker, Doc Lumpkins, did a fine job anticpating the interests and backgrounds of the audience. He presented a reassuring, even inspiring, shift of the federal perspective, including genuine calls for participation and review."

"Excellent update of the progress on this project. I am not only involved in American Red Cross Disaster Relief, but also am an IMT member for our Regional Task Force, serve on PA's Volunteer & Donations Management Team, as president of Central PA VOAD and on the Executive Committee of PA VOAD. These changes will impact many of these organizations and how they go about fulfilling their missions. Regular, timely updates on the changes is fully appreciated."

"Seems like there's beginning to be too many 'Frameworks,' 'Plans,' 'Systems' coming out of Federal Gov't now. Need to have these flow charted to visualize how they tie together or get a better handle on what, if anything, has gone away or been replaced."

"Good overview information but there is still a lot of work to be done which means things could change at any point. Such a lengthy, complicated process makes it difficult for emergency managers to work day-to-day with confidence."
