FEMA releases new emergency preparedness guide

To assist cities in developing an emergency plan, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101: A Guide for All Hazard Emergency Operations Planning.

The guide provides cities with FEMA's recommendations on how to address the entire emergency planning process - from forming a planning team, to writing and maintaining the plan, to executing the plan. The guide focuses on helping plan developers address all of the hazards and threats that might affect their city through a series of smaller operation plans that are connected through an integrated concept plan.

To access Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101, visit www.fema.gov/about/divisions/epg.shtm.
