Overview

Esta publicación de dos páginas cubre cómo los funcionarios locales de manejo de emergencias se han preparado para responder a los desastres en su comunidad, ya sea que ocurran de forma natural, provocados por el hombre o sean el resultado de una amenaza nacional.

En cada comunidad, varias personas y organismos trabajan juntos para redactar y poner en practica el plan local de gestion de emergencias. Entre ellos se encuentran los funcionarios electos, los departamentos gubernamentales (por ejemplo, la division de carreteras y puentes del condado), las agencias (por ejemplo, la oficina del sheriff del condado) y otros grupos (por ejemplo, Red Cross). El plan de gestion de emergencias consta de cuatro partes: un plan basico, una funcion de apoyo a la emergencia, anexos y procedimientos operativos estandar. Este plan utiliza los principios y conceptos del Sistema Nacional de Gestion de Incidentes en todo el proceso.
