Reference no: EM131682945

Assignment

Understanding the intricacies and challenges of emergency planning is not possible without actually undertaking the preparation of an emergency plan. During this assignment, students will develop a comprehensive plan for a town or city of their choice using the FEMA Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101. Develop your plan using:

Real attributes, such as critical infrastructure within the town or city when developing the plan.

Various special needs populations (i.e., hospitals, schools, retirement facilities, populations requiring special handling.)

Natural hazards (i.e., hurricane, tornado, flooding, or wild fire) when developing the plan.

The plan for your jurisdiction will contain a basic plan and a minimum of five annexes to include:

Functional annexes

Supporting annexes

Hazard/threat/incident specific annexes

You must use at least eight sources in addition to the course textbook when developing your research and analysis. Some of these are:

Continuity of Government & Continuity of Operations. (2003). Emergency planning guidance for a consolidated approach [PDF file].

U. S. Department of Homeland Security. (n.d.). State and local government continuity of operations planning: Training, tests, and exercises [PDF file].
