== Origins ==
The first iteration of framework was developed in 2006 by [[Leonard J. Marcus]] and [[Barry Dorn]] of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (NPLI), a joint program of the [[Harvard School of Public Health]], [[Harvard Kennedy School|Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government]], and Joseph M. Henderson, Chief of Staff at the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] or [[CDC]].

The need for more expansive leadership systems was driven by the increased complexity of threats facing the United States. This challenge was illustrated by the [[Hurricane Katrina disaster relief|response to Hurricane Katrina]] that was considered inadequate and “revealed profound system weaknesses.” It was argued that traditional leadership needed a different approach to coordinate across agencies and governments for emergency preparedness.
