MEMA Mission Statement
All Hazards Preparedness
Ensures readiness to withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of
emergencies and disasters, including natural hazards, technological accidents
and deliberate attacks.
MEMA is the state agency charged with ensuring the state is prepared to
withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of emergencies and
disasters, including natural hazards, accidents, deliberate attacks, and
technological and infrastructure failures.
MEMA's staff of professional planners, communications specialists and
operations and support personnel is committed to an all hazards approach to
emergency management.

MEMA Mission Statement Cont.
By building and sustaining effective partnerships with federal, state and local
government agencies, and with the private sector - - individuals, families,
non-profits and businesses - -
MEMA ensures the Commonwealth's ability to rapidly recover from large and
small disasters by assessing and mitigating threats and hazards, enhancing
preparedness, ensuring effective response, and strengthening our capacity to
rebuild and recover.

Comprehensive Emergency Management Program
The state’s Emergency Management Program is detailed in the
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)
Details the multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional program, roles and
responsibilities for the four phases of emergency management:
Mitigation
Preparation
Response
Recovery
Focus today is on the plans and organizational systems for
state coordination of disaster response operations.

MEMA Headquarters
The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is a central location from
which all local, state and federal partners can provide interagency
coordination and executive decision-making in support of any incidents or
planned events occurring in the Commonwealth. The Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan, is an all-hazards plan, developed to guide the
Commonwealth’s response to an emergency or disaster.
The facility is located at MEMA Headquarters and is often referred to as the
MEMA Bunker.

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
MEMA maintains the state’s multi-agency and multi-disciplinary
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)
Base Plan and numerous Annexes and Appendices (Updated 2014)
Annexes and Appendices (Updated on a rolling basis)

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
“The CEMP describes the system . . . to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and
recover from an emergency or disaster. . . The CEMP is an all hazards plan,
developed to address the Commonwealth’s unique natural and human-caused
hazards.”
“The CEMP was developed with critical input from stakeholders involved in the
Commonwealth’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Program. It . . .
conforms to federal guidance, including the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide
(CPG-101), National Response Framework (NRF), and National Incident
Management System (NIMS). The CEMP also complies with the Emergency
Management Standard published by the Emergency Management Accreditation
Program (EMAP).”

Business Continuity Plan
•When business is disrupted, it can cost money - - a business continuity plan
to continue business is essential.
Four steps to develop a business continuity plan:
•Conduct a business impact analysis to identify time-sensitive or critical
business functions and processes and the resources that support them.
• Identify, document, and implement to recover critical business functions and
processes.
•Organize a business continuity team and compile a business continuity plan
to manage a disruption.
•Conduct training for the business continuity team and teasting and exercises
to evaluate recovery strategies and the plan.
