Comprehensive Emergency Management Program The state’s Emergency Management Program is detailed in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)  Details the multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional program, roles and responsibilities for the four phases of emergency management:  Mitigation  Preparation  Response  Recovery Focus today is on the plans and organizational systems for state coordination of disaster response operations. 5

MEMA Headquarters  The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is a central location from which all local, state and federal partners can provide interagency coordination and executive decision-making in support of any incidents or planned events occurring in the Commonwealth. The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, is an all-hazards plan, developed to guide the Commonwealth’s response to an emergency or disaster.  The facility is located at MEMA Headquarters and is often referred to as the MEMA Bunker. 6

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan MEMA maintains the state’s multi -agency and multi-disciplinary Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)  Base Plan and numerous Annexes and Appendices (Updated 2014)  Annexes and Appendices (Updated on a rolling basis)  New Annexes/Appendices are created as the need is identified  Large Scale Ethanol Spill Plan (Completed 2016)  HPAI Response & Coordination Plan (Completed 2016)  Preventive Radiological/Nuclear Detection Plan (Under Development)  Family Assistance/Mass Casualty Support Plan (Under Development)  Many agencies and organizations contribute to the writing and updating of the CEMP 7

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan “The CEMP describes the system . . . to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan recover from an emergency or disaster. . . The CEMP is an all hazards plan, developed to address the Commonwealth’s unique natural and human-caused hazards. ” “The CEMP was developed with critical input from stakeholders involved in the Commonwealth’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Program. It . . . conforms to federal guidance, including the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG-101), National Response Framework (NRF), and National Incident Management System (NIMS). The CEMP also complies with the Emergency Management Standard published by the Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP). ” 8
