Planning
- State and Local Guide (SLG)
101: Guide for All-Hazard Emergency Operations Planning
This guide outlines the preparedness, response and short-term recovery
planning components that FEMA recommends be included in state and local
emergency operations plans. It offers FEMA's best judgment and recommendation
on how to handle the entire planning process. It also encourages emergency
managers to address all the hazards that threaten their jurisdictions
in a single operations plan rather than stand-alone plans.
- Comprehensive HazMat
Emergency Response-Capability Assessment Program (CHER-CAP)
CHER-CAP is a comprehensive preparedness program offered by FEMA to
local communities and Tribal governments to address HazMat incidents.
It is designed to help communities better understand HazMat risks, identify
planning deficiencies, update plans, train first responders and identify
systemic strengths and needed improvements.
- Federal Response Plan
A signed agreement among 27 federal departments and agencies, and the
American Red Cross, that provides the mechanism for coordinating delivery
of federal assistance and resources to augment efforts of state and
local governments overwhelmed by a major disaster or emergency.
- CONPLAN - Federal Interagency Domestic Terrorism
Concept of Operations Plan
The CONPLAN provides overall guidance to federal, state and local agencies
concerning how the federal government would respond to a potential or
actual terrorist threat or incident that occurs in the United States,
particularly one involving WMD.

Standards
- InterAgency Board
(IAB) for Equipment Standardization and InterOperability
This website contains information on the IAB and the establishment and
coordination of local, state, and federal standardization, interoperability,
and responder safety to prepare for, respond to, mitigate, and recover
from any incident by identifying requirements for Chemical, Biological,
Radiological, Nuclear or Explosives (CBRNE) incident response equipment.

Command System (ICS) Study Course
The model for command, control and coordination of an emergency response
operation, ICS provides a way to coordinate the efforts of different
emergency response organizations and jurisdictions. Federal law requires
the use of ICS for response to Hazardous Materials incidents. FEMA is
encouraging nationwide use of ICS for responses to emergencies and disasters,
whatever the cause.
- Compendium of Federal Terrorism Training
This compendium of courses was compiled to inform state and local agencies
of federal training that is available in the area of weapons of mass
destruction (WMD). These courses are all available to state and local
responders. This compendium will be updated, as new courses become available.

Capability Assessment for Readiness (CAR)
An emergency management readiness and capability assessment system for
state and local emergency managers developed through a collaboration
between FEMA and the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA).
- Emergency
Management Accreditation Program
EMAP is a voluntary review/accreditation process for state and local
emergency management programs. Accreditation is a means of demonstrating,
through self-assessment, documentation and peer review, that a program
meets national standards for emergency management programs. EMAP is
pilot testing its standards and procedures with local programs; the
accreditation process is now open for state applications.
