Planning is an essential homeland security activity. It requires policies, procedures, and tools that support the decision makers and planners who make up the emergency planning community.
Overview
The interim Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101, “Producing Emergency Plans: A Guide for All-Hazard Operations Planning for State, Territorial, Local, and Tribal Governments” continues the effort to provide communities with guidance for emergency operations planning. CPG-101(interim) leverages this long standing experience and reflects the current emergency planning environment by integrating concepts from the National Incident Management System and the National Response Framework, lessons learned from recent disasters, and recommendations from the Nationwide Plan Review. CPG-101 (interim) replaces State and Local Guide 101, “Guide for All-Hazards Emergency Planning” and is the cornerstone for a series of CPGs that address a variety of hazards and emergency functions. CPG-101 (interim) also describes how the state and local planning process will vertically integrate with the Federal Integrated Planning System.
Content
Produced by team of more than 30 state and local emergency preparedness practitioners, CPG-101(interim): Conveys to planners what constitutes an effective emergency plan; Shows that emergency planning is a process that integrates, coordinates, and synchronizes response activities at the tactical and operational levels; and focuses planning efforts on well-established planning principles and best practices.
CPG-101(interim) provides a process for easy transition across mission areas; uses a mix of scenario-based, functional, and capabilities-based planning, and can be employed by a range of planners in a range of settings – from rural to major metropolitan jurisdictions.
Recognizing that many jurisdictions across the country have already developed Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs), CPG-101 (interim) does not direct a specific plan format; rather, it provides content guidance so that jurisdictions can develop plans that best fit their geographical, political, and social environment. It establishes no immediate requirements but suggests that the next iteration of all EOPs follow its guidance.
