Development of a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)

The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) establishes a framework for an effective system of comprehensive emergency management. The Plan describes the basic strategies, assumptions, operational goals and objectives, and mechanisms through which a jurisdiction will mobilize resources and conduct activities to guide and support emergency management efforts through preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. To facilitate effective operations, the Plan adopts a functional approach that groups the types of assistance to be provided into Emergency Functions.

All Hands, working for and in close coordination with the local Emergency Management Coordinator, will provide administrative, research, planning, and publishing services required to develop a complete CEMP.  

These services include:

Assist the Emergency Management Coordinator with presenting completed plan to local officials for approval. Comprehensive Emergency Management Program Support
