                        Standards
  NPS Preparedness Reviews
The standards reflected in the checklists are established national policy requirements. The checklists reflect the interagency standard for operations and performance in each area of review and are not arbitrary standards set by the review team. These checklists are to be used on all preparedness reviews to maintain a consistent level of review nationwide. Individual agencies and units can request individual items of interest be added to the checklists, but these additions must not undermine any established national policy requirements outlined in the standard checklist.

Comments should be typed into the "remarks" section of the checklist proposed for change. These checklists can be sent electronically to the above address for your agency for considerations. Proposed changes need to reflect current national policy and be a quantifiable item that directly applies to fire preparedness.
