Comprehensive Emergency Management (CEM) 1
Comprehensive Emergency Management (CEM) 1 : "CEM refers to a state's responsibility and unique capability to manage all types of disasters by coordinating wide-ranging actions of numerous agencies. The 'comprehensive' aspect of CEM includes all four phases of disaster activity: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for all risks -- attack, man-made, and natural -- in a federal-state-local operating partnership." (NGA 1978, 203) Comprehensive Emergency Management (CEM): "CEM fosters a federal-state-local operating partnership". (NGA, Comprehensive Emergency Management, 1979, p. 15) "CEM should be distinguished from comprehensive emergency preparedness, a term now generally in use, which emphasizes, in practice if not legislative intent, the preparedness and response phases of emergency management almost exclusively". (NGA, CEM, 1979, p. 50) "In keeping with the concept of a full federal-state-local partnership in the consolidation of allrisk emergency management, state and local governments should adopt consistent nomenclature, using the words emergency management". (NGA, CEM, 1979, p. 53)
