The Homeland Security Geospatial Concept of Operations (GeoCONOPS) is a multiyear effort focused on the geospatial communities supporting DHS and FEMA activities under the NRF and in PPD-8
coordination with Presidential Policy Directive 8: Mission Areas National Preparedness (PPD-8), which describes the Nation’s approach to preparing for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the United States. The GeoCONOPS, in its fifth
year, is a multiyear product to document the current Disaster Operations geospatial practices supporting the NRF, PPD-8, and Stafford Act activities. The participants and intended audience of the GeoCONOPS include the GIOT Members, 15 Emergency Support Functions (ESF), both primary and support, and other federal mission
partners. The GeoCONOPS is updated on a yearly Disasters basis to ensure it meets the needs of all mission Catastrophic partners. The GeoCONOPS is currently under review by DHS for full adoption under PPD-8. 1 Appendices

The public confusion and panic contribute additional GeoCONOPS injuries and possibly fatalities as efforts are made to escape the scene.

DoD protects the Continental United States (CONUS) through two distinct but interrelated missions: Homeland Defense (HD) and Civil Support (CS) missions. DoD serves as the federal department with lead responsibility PPD-8
for HD, which may be executed by DoD alone or include Mission Areas support provided by other agencies. While these missions are distinct, some department roles and responsibilities overlap, and operations require extensive coordination between lead and supporting agencies. Disaster The actors interviewed for HD/CS support include Operations USNORTHCOM/ USPACOM, NGA, and NGB (Title 10 and Title 32). The Civil Support Appendix will evolve in future phases of the GeoCONOPS project when the focus moves to catastrophic, intelligence, and law enforcement
missions. Disasters Catastrophic CS is defined as the application of DoD’s rapid response and other technical capabilities to domestic emergencies or disasters in support of civil authorities. CS includes, C + but is not limited to, support to US civil authorities for natural and manmade domestic emergencies, civil

Appendix G: US National Grid Capabilities Requirements & Requirements
Introduction The USNG is a point reference system commonly used in United States. It provides a nationally PPD-8
consistent language of location in a user friendly Mission Areas format. It is similar in design to the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) used throughout other nations. The USNG was developed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee to “create a
