The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is requesting input by January 14, 2020 for updating their “Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101: Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans” (CPG 101). More information can be found at fema.gov/plan.

CPG 101 provides guidance on how to develop emergency operations plans and promotes a common understanding of the fundamentals of risk-informed planning. The goal is to assist in making the planning process routine across all phases of emergency management and for all homeland security mission areas and to ensure the planning process is integrated, coordinated, and synchronized. This guide helps planners at all levels of government in their efforts to develop and maintain viable, all-hazards, all-threats emergency plans.

Revising CPG 101 is necessary to make it consistent with pertinent guidance, lessons learned, and best practices; and to improve its utility in guiding emergency operations plans development. To that end, FEMA is inviting whole community partners to discuss their current use of CPG 101 and to provide recommendations on how to make CPG 101 better. A line numbered version of the CPG 101 is available to allow individuals to comment and provide recommendations on specific areas within the document.

When reviewing the document, consider:

- How you currently use CPG 101 in your planning process and what could make it a more impactful?
- What is the most valuable part of the document and which portions can be improved?
- Identifying additional topics, templates, checklist, or other resources that can improve the usefulness of the document?

The comment matrix can be used to capture any recommendations. **Please provide any comments, input, or recommendations by the close of business on January 14, 2020.** Email feedback or any questions to NPD-Planning@fema.dhs.gov.

# Webinar Listening Sessions

A series of 60-minute virtual listening sessions are scheduled to provide a brief background on CPG 101 and gather recommendations on how to improve the document. These sessions will include facilitated discussions with stakeholders in order to determine what they find useful within the document and where they see areas for improvement. This will help FEMA develop a more complete and useful draft to engage with the whole community again further into the process.

Advance registration is required and on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, click on your preferred session below.

- **Webinar:** Tuesday, Jan 7, 2020, 11 a.m. ET
- **Webinar:** Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020, 2 p.m. ET

If you require accommodations to participate in these sessions, please email us at NPD-Planning@fema.dhs.gov.

Comments made during the webinars are for discussion purposes only.

To provide input, download the line numbered version of CPG 101 and feedback matrix, available at www.fema.gov/plan, then submit the completed feedback form to NPD-Planning@fema.dhs.gov. **This open comment period will conclude at the close of business on January 14, 2020.**
