Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan

“The CEMP describes the system . . . to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and 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).”
