2018 National Preparedness Report
"The 2018 'National Preparedness Report' provides an overview of key developments in national preparedness--incorporating findings and lessons learned from incidents in 2017 in combination with data and inputs from federal interagency and whole community partners. The report evaluates and measures progress in building, sustaining, and delivering five selected core capabilities that have faced emerging and persistent challenges. Refining the scope of the 2018 edition of the report to focus on these challenging elements concentrates the discussion on what the whole community--including individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and all levels of government-- needs to address to increase the Nation's preparedness. The in-depth assessment of the targeted areas provided in this report will be particularly important in the years to come, as the Nation looks to address long-term trends that will influence national preparedness--including rising disaster costs, new technology, an older and more diverse population, and evolving threats such as cybersecurity."

National Preparedness Report [2017]
"The National Preparedness Report is an annual requirement of The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 and a key element of the National Preparedness System. The report evaluates and measures gains that individuals and communities, private and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations, and all levels of government have made in preparedness. It also identifies where challenges and opportunities for improvement remain. The 2017 National Preparedness Report focuses primarily on preparedness activities undertaken or reported during calendar year 2016 and summarizes progress in building, sustaining, and delivering the 32 core capabilities outlined in the National Preparedness Goal."

2020 National Preparedness Report
From the Foreword: "I am pleased to announce the release of the National Preparedness Report (NPR). Every year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) releases this report to provide a picture of how prepared the Nation is to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impacts of any disaster, as well as ensure the continuity of lifelines, essential functions, and services. Through the NPR, FEMA hopes to inspire action by the whole community--including individuals; communities; state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments; the private and non-profit sectors; and the Federal Government--to increase capabilities and make us more resilient, prepared, and ready to address any challenges that we as a Nation may face. National preparedness is the responsibility of all levels of our society, including individuals, local governments, the private sector, and the Federal Government. The world this report has been released into is forever changed by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, the largest pandemic in human history since the 1918 influenza pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the first ever Stafford Act major disaster declaration of all 50 states, five territories, and the District of Columbia for a naturally occurring infectious disease, and has altered the way of life for people across the world."

Reducing the Risks of Nonstructural Earthquake Damage -- A Practical Guide
From the Purpose: "Nonstructural failures have accounted for the majority of earthquake damage in several recent U.S. earthquakes. Thus, it is critical to raise awareness of potential nonstructural risks, the costly consequences of nonstructural failures, and the opportunities that exist to limit future losses. Nonstructural components of a building include all of those components that are not part of the structural system; that is, all of the architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, as well as furniture, fixtures, equipment, and contents. Windows, partitions, granite veneer, piping, ceilings, air conditioning ducts and equipment, elevators, computer and hospital equipment, file cabinets, and retail merchandise are all examples of nonstructural components that are vulnerable to earthquake damage. The primary purpose of this guide is to explain the sources of nonstructural earthquake damage and to describe methods for reducing the potential risks in simple terms."

Seismic Building Code Provisions for New Buildings to Create Safer Communities
From the Document: "Although we can't prevent earthquakes striking in the communities where people work and live, we can take action to impact the most important factor in saving lives and reducing losses from an earthquake: adopt and enforce up-to-date building codes. As seismic-preparedness experts often remind us, 'Earthquakes don't kill people, but collapsed buildings do.' Building codes regulate the design, construction, alteration, and maintenance of structures in the United States. They specify the minimum requirements to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants. Throughout the nation, the national model building codes are adopted and enforced by the state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) authorities, not by the federal government. Evidence from past earthquakes indicates adoption and enforcement of the latest model building codes is one of the most effective seismic mitigation strategies available to communities."

Mind Over Matter: Strategies to Combat the Coronavirus Blues, A Resource Guide
From the About: "[This is a] catalog of links to information and graphics aimed at college and university campus communities. The goal of this guide is to provide ideas for students, faculty, staff and administrators to help manage the challenges of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] during school, work and daily life. [...] [We are a] joint COVID-19 Schools Task Force, made up of staff from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) offices in Kansas City, Missouri. The focus of the task force since its inception in July 2020, has been to provide information to colleges and universities that will improve individual preparedness and general well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. [...] In the late fall of 2020, we noticed an increasing trend in mental health fatigue across the country associated with the pandemic, including at colleges and universities. So we aimed to collect a variety of strategies to help combat that fatigue and promote general wellness that can be used right now during the pandemic, and carried forward into the future. [...] The information [in this guide] is themed into 6 categories: [1] 'Top Guns' (Tools for Faculty and Leadership); [2] 'Why These Feelings?' (How to Manage a Gamut of Emotions); [3] 'Takin' a Break' (Fun Things to Do During the Pandemic); [4] 'Lullaby and Goodnight' (Tips for Better ZZZs); [5] 'Stomping Stress' (Surviving and Thriving thru Adversity); [and 6] 'Getting your Groove Back' (Winning @ Wellness)[.]"

Flood of October 1996 in Southern Maine
From the Abstract: "Up to 19.19 inches of rain were recorded in southern Maine from October 20-22, 1996. This rainfall caused severe flooding that resulted in one death, damage to more than 2,100 homes and businesses, and the destruction of bridges and dams in 8 communities. Peak flows, with estimated recurrence intervals of greater than 500 years, were recorded on 3 streams. The peak flow on the Presumpscot River in Westbrook, Maine was 68 percent larger than any other flow at that location in the last 102 years. This report provides a detailed description of the October 1996 flood in southern Maine. It presents peak streamflows for 13 sites, peak-flow recurrence intervals for 12 of these 13 sites, and peak water-surface elevations for 74 sites; describes hydrologic conditions prior to the October 20-22 storm; provides a method for estimating the recurrence intervals of peak flows at sites where peak flows were not determined (for this flood); and reports a significant amount of historical flood data for the Presumpscot River."
