CPG 101, Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans, Version 2 |
CPG 101 (Comprehensive Planning Guide 101) is designed to help both novice and experienced planners navigate the planning process. Used in its entirety, this Guide provides information and instruction on the fundamentals of planning and their application. Chapters 1 and 2 lay the foundation for planning efforts by providing information on the basics of planning (Chapter 1) and the environment within which planners function (Chapter 2). With an understanding of these fundamentals, the Guide then transitions from theory to practice by discussing the different plan formats and functions (Chapter 3) and moving into an explanation of the planning process (Chapter 4). A detailed checklist, building upon Chapters 3 and 4, is provided in Appendix C. Because Appendix C provides a set of detailed questions to consider throughout the planning process, users are encouraged to copy or remove this checklist and employ it as they work through the planning process in Chapter 4. |

HSEEP Preparedness Toolkit |
This is a link to FEMA's page dedicated to emergency preparedness exercises and the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). The CMS Emerg. Preparedness Rule includes requirements for providers to conduct training and testing of their emergency plans and procedures, and mentions HSEEP as a resource (there is not a requirement to use HSEEP - it is mentioned as a resource only). Providers may find HSEEP's doctrines and principles helpful in developing training and exercises required by CMS. HSEEP provides a set of guiding principles for exercise programs, as well as a common approach to exercise program management, design and development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning. Exercises are a key component of national preparedness—they provide elected and appointed officials and stakeholders from across the whole community with the opportunity to shape planning, assess and validate capabilities, and address areas for improvement. |
