Emergencies? "A shared planning community increases the likelihood of integration and synchronization, makes planning cycles more efficient and effective, and simplifies plan maintenance." Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidance from FEMA on the fundamentals of planning and developing emergency operations plans. The guide describes the steps to produce an emergency operation plan, possible plan structures and components of a base plan and its annexes. Other FEMA guides provide detailed information about planning considerations for specific functions, hazards and threats. 1 CPG 101 is a key resource in the emergency management community.
The updated content in CPG 101 Version 3.0 is based on practitioner feedback, identified lessons learned and successful practices from real-world events and exercises that can inform the planning process. The guide provides methods for planners to: Conduct community-based planning to engage the whole community through a planning process that represents the actual population in the community and involves community leaders and the private sector; Develop plans by identifying and analyzing risk; Identify operational assumptions and resource demands; Prioritize plans and planning efforts to support the transition from development to execution for any threat or hazard; and Integrate and coordinate efforts across all levels of government, the private sector and nonprofit organizations. Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidelines on developing emergency operations plans (EOPs). It promotes a common understanding of the fundamentals of community-based, risk-informed planning and decision making to help planners examine a threat or hazard and produce integrated, coordinated and synchronized plans. The goal of CPG 101 is to simplify the planning process across all mission areas in the National Preparedness Goal: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response and Recovery.
This guide helps planners at state, local, tribal, territorial and insular area levels of government to develop and maintain viable all-hazards, all-threats EOPs. Accomplished properly, planning provides a methodical way to engage the whole community in considering the lifecycle of a potential crisis, determining required capabilities and establishing a framework for roles and responsibilities. 5 It shapes how a community envisions and shares a desired outcome, selects effective ways to achieve it and communicates expected results.
Planners strive for unity of effort in incident operations by coordinating and integrating plans across all levels of government, nonprofit organizations, the private sector and individuals and families. This emphasis on coordination is based on the fundamental principle that for most incidents, emergency management and homeland security operations start locally and expand to include other resources as the affected jurisdiction requires additional support. Plans should strengthen communications across different levels of government to create and maintain a common operational focus. Plans should also foster communication among individual agencies and departments, the private sector and mutual aid partners, and should help each entity understand and execute their defined assignments. Is It Time For You To Start Taking Your Planning Seriously?
