Business Shelter-In-Place, Student Guide
"These STUDENT NOTES are intended to accompany the 'Business' Shelter-In-Place video prepared for the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP). The CSEPP is a collaborative effort by the Army and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and state and local officials to improve the emergency response capabilities of communities that surround the chemical stockpiles at the eight U.S. Army installations in the continental United States. Since CSEPP began in 1988, state and local officials have teamed with the Army and the FEMA to protect the public in the unlikely event of a chemical agent release. Although evacuation is the preferred action in the event of an accidental release of chemical warfare agent if time permits, officials may advise businesses and industries to shelter-in-place under some circumstances. This video is intended is to describe the planning elements necessary in developing a plan for sheltering-in-place of occupants in a place of business during a short-term chemical emergency. Many businesses and commercial operations have contingency plans that include evacuation during emergencies. The information provided in this training can be coordinated with those plans to accommodate the unique features of shelter-in-place protective actions. It is important to remember that in the development of a SIP plan for business and commercial interests, it is impossible to anticipate the detailed local conditions that will exist when a chemical agent is released."

Disaster Contracts Quarterly Report: First Quarter, Fiscal Year 2017

Directory of FEMA Earthquake Partners [August 2012]
"Developing and strengthening partnerships for building safer communities underlies all of the initiatives and activities carried out by FEMA in support of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). This Directory of FEMA Earthquake Partners supports those partnerships by providing contact information for more than 300 organizations and individuals involved in earthquake mitigation at the federal and state levels and in the non-governmental sector. Section II, FEMA Earthquake Partners, provides contact information (organization, web page link, name and title of key staff, staff email, and staff telephone number, when provided) for the following groups: the NEHRP Agencies; the Advisory Committee on Earthquake Hazards Reduction (ACEHR); FEMA Regional and Headquarters (HQ) Earthquake Program Managers; State and Territorial Earthquake Program Managers; Regional Earthquake Consortia; Seismic Safety Commissions, Committees, and Councils; Universities and Academic Research Centers; and Non-Governmental Partners. Not every organization listed under Non-Governmental Partners has a mission based on earthquake mitigation. Some of the organizations are included because their constituents, such as homeowners, school children, and property insurers, will benefit from or have a significant interest in earthquake mitigation."

LLIS Lesson Learned: School Pandemic Influenza Preparedness: Incorporating Inventory Information into Emergency Plans
"Higher education institutions should consider including up-to-date inventory information about personal protective equipment (PPE) and other emergency supplies in their emergency plans. The plans can detail current stockpile levels as well as provide projections of how long the stockpiles would last during an emergency. [...] On October 10, 2007, the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) held a tabletop exercise (TTX) simulating the effect of a worldwide pandemic influenza outbreak on its Wilmington campus. The TTX scenario included the identification of a suspected avian influenza case on the UNCW campus. The TTX evaluated the UNCW pandemic influenza response plan and helped to prepare UNCW emergency responders. The TTX included 15 participants representing 12 UNCW departments."

2020 National Preparedness Report [Executive Summary]
This document includes solely the Executive Summary taken from the full version of the "2020 National Preparedness Report." From the Executive Summary: "The National Preparedness Report (NPR) summarizes the progress made, and challenges that remain, in building and sustaining the capabilities needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats, hazards, and incidents that pose the greatest risk to the Nation. As a requirement of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKEMRA) of 2006, and as a key element of the National Preparedness System, this annual report offers all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public practical insights into preparedness that support decisions about program priorities, resource allocation, and actions that can create more resilient communities. The NPR includes analysis based on data available as of December 31, 2019, that helps decision-makers understand the risks facing the Nation and the country's ability to address those risks. Additionally, the report includes content that can inspire action and identify areas of focus. The report provides an annual picture of the risks the Nation faces; the capabilities the Nation has--and needs--to prepare for those risks; and data-driven analysis of current, critical considerations in emergency management. Catastrophic risks will truly stress national resources and should not be confused with incidents that may result in regional impacts only. Systemic risks affect interconnected systems, such as cybersecurity threats or impacts to established supply chains."

2018 National Preparedness Report
"The 2018 'National Preparedness Report' provides an overview of key developments in national preparedness--incorporating findings and lessons learned from incidents in 2017 in combination with data and inputs from federal interagency and whole community partners. The report evaluates and measures progress in building, sustaining, and delivering five selected core capabilities that have faced emerging and persistent challenges. Refining the scope of the 2018 edition of the report to focus on these challenging elements concentrates the discussion on what the whole community--including individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and all levels of government-- needs to address to increase the Nation's preparedness. The in-depth assessment of the targeted areas provided in this report will be particularly important in the years to come, as the Nation looks to address long-term trends that will influence national preparedness--including rising disaster costs, new technology, an older and more diverse population, and evolving threats such as cybersecurity."
