FEMA Operational Planning Unit
FEMA Operational Planning Unit : "In depth operational planning, led by Disaster Operation's [Directorate] current Operational Planning Unit, is a core competency of the agency. This planning includes detailed and critical disaster response operational analyses, preparation of operational plans, and crisis action planning to ensure that the agency can lead and improve national all-hazard disaster responses. More specifically, the Operational Planning Unit will: (1) Provide national and regional operational planning guidance and coordination. (2) Coordinate at the operational level the execution of all hazard contingency plans. (3) Provide forecasting and analysis of potential events. (4) Assist FEMA Regions in operational planning at the regional level. (5) Lead the development of DHS and FEMA hazard-specific contingency plans. "Operational response planning efforts are closely coordinated with FEMA's National Preparedness Program, Disaster Assistance Directorate, Mitigation Directorate, and DHS components, including the DHS Incident Management Planning Team (IMPT). FEMA will lead the coordinated planning for the Federal Government consistent with the intent of PKEMRA". (DHS, FEMA OMA FY 09 Budget Justification, 2008, 21)
