The FEMA guide is intended to help beginning and experienced planners navigate the stormy waters and rocky slopes of all-hazards planning. The current version incorporates lessons learned from Hurricanes Andrew, Hugo, Rita, and Katrina; the Loma Prieta earthquake; and flooding in the Midwest. This effort provides methods for emergency planners to:
- •
develop and train planners;
- •
identify resource demands and operation options;
- •
link planning, preparedness, and resource and asset management in a virtual environment;
- •
prioritize planning efforts;
- •
provide concurrent planning through all levels; and
- •
quickly produce plans on demand.
