This information is an imperative requirement to address the multifaceted national emergency and critical
infrastructure plans and interagency coordination to implement, support, protect, strengthen, and enhance emergency
communications capabilities. Enabling and improving efforts to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an
efficient, and timely manner is vital to the security of the nation to establish uniform policies, standards, and guidelines
for integrating emergency communications across federal infrastructure protection and risk management within all 16
infrastructure sectors.
It will allow for insight into customer and stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations, and to focus
attention on areas where emergency communications, public safety training, or changes or in operations might
improve ECD initiatives. The collections from the NSEPC will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable
communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders while simultaneously contributing directly to
the improvement of program management.
Improving agency programs requires the consistency of ongoing assessment of service delivery, meaning a
systematic review of the operation of a program compared to a set of explicit or implicit standards, as a way of
contributing to the continuous improvement of the program.
