FEMA-NRC 2023-2024 Joint Strategic Plan Foreword We are pleased to present this joint Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024. This plan reflects a coordinated effort between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to communicate mutual objectives, the vision for reaching those objectives, and measures of success.
The joint Strategic Plan establishes three strategic goals to orient our joint efforts and priorities, which support accomplishing each agency's mission and realizing our joint vision to be valued partners in emergency preparedness in and around commercial nuclear power plants:
Strategic Goal 1: Collaboration that Strengthens Partnership - To collaborate on common mission areas related to radiological emergency preparedness through intentional partnership.
Goal 2: Ensuring Mutual Organizational Resilience - To engage in deliberate and frequent communication to increase cross-organizational health.
Strategic Goal 3: Unifying Strategic Engagement and Communication -
To produce/engage in thoughtful and coordinated messaging that informs and engages all stakeholders.
The FEMA-NRC Joint Strategic Plan and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
The MOU:
Has its basis in regulations and authorities; defines our respective responsibilities; and is an important tool in deconfliction The Joint Strategic Plan:
Does not replace the MOU; the plan augments the MOU. The plan allows us to formally agree on how we implement our respective responsibilities toward a common vision. It articulates how we each lead in accordance with the MOU and assist each other in parts of the effort toward shared goals and end states. The plan incorporates how we will accomplish evolving government-wide direction.

REPP Why a joint strategic plan?
The NRC and FEMA work closely together to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety at the nation's commercial nuclear power plants, other new technologies, and in the surrounding communities.
Our efforts are intertwined toward that common mission. Through a joint plan, we will more effectively focus on our common goals and desired end states; determine measurable ways w.e l can define common succ.~ss; and represent and reflect our agencies' respective strategic goals as we apply them to our common mission.
1.2 Vision and Mission Our shared vision and common mission describe the partnership we wish to realize as we sustain our current preparedness and response roles and as those roles may evolve based on the changing commercial nuclear industry landscape.
