What organization aims to improve national capabilities for dealing with hazards?

The organization that aims to improve national capabilities for dealing with hazards is FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA is responsible for coordinating the federal government’s response and recovery efforts in disasters and emergencies, including natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and other hazards. Its mission focuses on helping communities prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impacts of disasters.

FEMA develops and supports various training programs, preparedness initiatives, and recovery plans to enhance national capabilities for hazard response. This includes collaborations with state and local governments, as well as various organizations, to ensure that resources and strategies are in place to effectively manage disasters when they occur.

In contrast, NIMS (National Incident Management System) provides a framework for incident management across all levels of government but is established under FEMA to promote coordinated response efforts rather than directly improving capabilities. NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) focuses on aerospace warning and defense, particularly related to airspace security. CEMP (Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan) refers to local or state plans for emergency management rather than being a national organization dedicated to improving capabilities.
