Executive Order 14239

Achieving Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness

In simple terms

This executive order directs a comprehensive review and restructuring of federal preparedness and resilience policies, shifting from an all-hazards to a risk-informed approach while empowering state and local governments. It mandates new strategy documents, policy revisions, and a National Risk Register to quantify threats, explicitly excluding "misinformation" and "cognitive infrastructure" from critical infrastructure policy. Multiple existing executive orders, national security memoranda, and presidential policy directives are slated for review and potential rescission or replacement.

  • Explicit exclusion of misinformation/disinformation from critical infrastructure policy may create gaps in addressing information threats to infrastructure
  • Shift from all-hazards to risk-informed approach may narrow preparedness scope; tension between localization and federal coordination
  • Massive policy review workload (multiple EOs, NSMs, PPDs, HSPDs) with overlapping deadlines could strain interagency capacity
  • Quadrennial review requirements may outlast administration; implementation uncertain
  • Vague 'risk-informed' framing without defined methodology creates implementation uncertainty
  • State/local empowerment rhetoric may conflict with actual federal resource dependencies
