Disaster Resilience: Opportunities to Improve National Preparedness, Statement of Chris P. Currie, Director, Homeland Security and Justice, Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, Committee on Homeland Security House of Representatives
From the Highlights: "Each year, disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires affect hundreds of American communities. The federal government provides billions of dollars to individuals and communities that have suffered damages. According to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, extreme weather events are projected to become more frequent and intense in parts of the U.S. as a result of changes in the climate. Investments in disaster resilience can reduce the overall impact of future disasters and costs. This testimony discusses GAO [Government Accountability Office] reports issued from 2015 through 2021 on disaster preparedness and resilience. This includes FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency]'s National Preparedness System and associated grants; hazard mitigation grant programs; and GAO's Disaster Resilience Framework for identifying opportunities to enhance resilience. The statement also describes actions taken to address GAO's prior recommendations through March 2022."

National Drug Control Strategy: Data Supplement 2012
From the Document: "The 'National Drug Control Strategy' lays out an evidence-based approach to reducing drug use and its consequences; therefore, timely and accurate data are essential to the Strategy's development, implementation, and assessment. In 2010, the Administration devoted an entire chapter of its inaugural 'National Drug Control Strategy' to strengthening the information systems that support it. This commitment carries through to the 2012 Strategy. This companion document to the 2012 'National Drug Control Strategy' compiles data from many drug-related information systems, providing a reference regarding what we know about drug use, its consequences, illicit drug production and trafficking, and other related statistics. The Administration will continue to work to strengthen these information systems in order to improve our understanding of the drug problem and develop the most effective approaches to protect public health and safety."

National Security Strategy for a Global Age [December 2000]
From the Document: "Over the last eight years, we have once again mustered the creative energies of our Nation to reestablish the United States' military and economic strength within the world community. As a result, the world now looks to the United States to be not just a broker of peace, but a catalyst of coalitions, and a guarantor of global financial stability. It has been achieved in spite of a period of tumultuous change in the strategic landscape. Yet, it has been realized because we have maintained a steadfast focus on simple goals; peace, shared prosperity, and freedom, that lift the condition of all nations and people that choose to join us. This document goes over our countries strategy for engagement, and the many different policies that comprise it. The key elements of the strategy include: Adapting our alliances; Encouraging the reorientation of other states, including former adversaries; Encouraging democratization, open markets, free trade, and sustainable development; Preventing conflict; Countering potential regional aggressors; Confronting new threats, and; Steering international peace and stability operations. These elements are building blocks within a strategic architecture that describe a foreign policy for a global age. They are not easily summed up in a single phrase but they have all been guided by two simple principles; protecting our interests and advancing our values. Together, the sum of these goals, elements, and principles represent the blueprint for our strategy of engagement, which will best achieve our vision for the future.
