Protecting our citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest threats and hazards in a manner that allows our interests, aspirations, and way of life to thrive
Mitigating the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of future disasters
Responding quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of a catastrophic incident
Recovering through a focus on the timely restoration, strengthening, and the revitalization of infrastructure, housing, and a sustainable economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historic, and environmental fabric of communities affected by a catastrophic incident

7. Definitions
Local: A single jurisdiction (county or city). A county includes any cities that have signed on to the county plan.
Regional: A minimum of two counties, or in lieu of one county, the exercise must have state or federal integration.
Multi-Regional: Involves at least two Houston UASI jurisdictions as well as non-Houston UASI jurisdiction(s).

Summary of jurisdictional or organizational threat and hazard information;
Corrective actions and/or areas for improvement from exercise and real-world events;
External sources and requirements, such as homeland security strategies, preparedness reports, or industry reports; and
