# Worksheet #1 Build the Planning Team

*Step 2 of "Getting Started" (FEMA 386-1) discusses establishing a
planning team with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences
represented. This worksheet suggests additional individuals, agencies,
and organizations that should be included on a team to plan for manmade
hazards. State organizations can be included on local teams when
appropriate to serve as a source of information and to provide guidance
and coordination.*

*You should use the checklist as a starting point for expanding your
team.*
