Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Planning is intended to enhance regional catastrophic preparedness and continuity of operations efforts, with the aim of strengthening the Nation against risks associated with catastrophic events. Centered on the highest risk Urban Areas and surrounding regions, the goal is to focus where the impact will have the most significant effect on our collective security and resilience.
Each participating Operational Area includes a collection of jurisdictions that will work collaboratively to develop program guidance, plans, templates, and annexes to support regional collaboration. This initiative is provided in response to the direction by Congress to develop an "all-hazard regional catastrophic event plans and preparedness" for urban areas and participating governments. |
