Implementing the Community Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan
Overview
Successful management of a disaster begins at the local level. When a community is prepared to deal with a disaster the impact can be minimized and lives may be saved. One key to community preparedness is a community emergency plan that defines how the community will manage disasters. The plan should include local, regional, and industry or national resources that support local response.
The Community Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan (CERP) is a new, exciting approach to emergency management for small communities.
The Goal for the CERP Project
This initiative strives to provide small communities with a mechanism to develop emergency response abilities that will increase their capability to respond to an event.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
Past disasters have illustrated that government agencies alone will not be able to address the needs of at-risk populations, and that a system that includes multiple partners is needed to prepare for, respond, and recover from disasters. Better coordination and communication between all community partners can lead to improved outcomes for the entire community and help ensure that populations and other at-risk individuals can access needed services during response and recovery phases.
