New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) [website]
From the site description: "Welcome to the website of the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. Created by an act of the State Legislature in July 2010, the Division is comprised of five offices dedicated to the protection of New Yorkers, their property and the State's economic well-being from acts of terrorism and natural and manmade emergencies or disasters. The Division accomplishes this core mission through its offices - Counter Terrorism, Emergency Management, Fire Prevention and Control, Cyber Security and Interoperable & Emergency Communications - who coordinate the response of State agencies in support of local government. Our website is a roadmap as to what we do and how we do it. It also offers valuable information from our five offices to better protect yourself, your families and your communities. We hope you find it to be a valuable and useful resource. The women and men of DHSES are dedicated to working closely on a daily basis with all levels of government, the private sector, and volunteer organizations to improve the readiness and response capabilities of communities throughout the Empire State. Thank you for taking the time to visit us. We hope you return often."

Empire County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan: Pandemic Influenza Annex - A Sample Plan to Assist Counties in Developing a Pandemic Influenza Annex to the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan [2011]
"The purpose of the CEMP [Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan] is to identify the county's overarching policies, authorities and response organizational structure that will be implemented in an emergency or disaster situation. In addition, the CEMP identifies the lines of coordination and the centralized coordination of resources that will be utilized in directing the county's response agencies and requesting State assistance. Further, the CEMP serves as the foundational framework for the county's response levels, and serve as the operational basis of which other functional and hazard-specific annexes will build upon. The purpose of this Annex is to ensure that the strategic and broad-based nature of the Empire County CEMP is more defined to allow the county to adequately prepare for, respond to and recover from a pandemic. This will include utilizing county agency activities and the interoperability with the State in its response. State planning efforts identify the key mechanisms in coordinating with the local response and identify the lines of coordination to interoperate with the federal response, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Plan for Pandemic Influenza, via the National Response Plan."
