CoSA developed its Framework for Emergency Preparedness
during 2006 as a central focus of Phase One of its Emergency
Preparedness Initiative.
The framework includes:
An Assessment
which guides state archives and records programs through the questions
they must ask themselves to determine their current preparedness strengths
and weaknesses. This assessment also provides benchmarks by which each
state can measure progress as they implement statewide planning and preparedness
measures.
Results of the first round of Assessments, completed
by state archives and records management programs in 2006, are contained
in the report, "Safeguarding a Nation's
Identity."
Templates for the Pocket
Response Plan (PReP), a basic preparedness document which each
state can use to collect and maintain the most critical information needed
to respond to any kind of emergency, including key contacts, designated
roles and responsibilities, and suppliers of essential goods and services.
A Toolkit
that provides guidance and a resource directory for addressing
the concerns identified through the assessment and for locating contacts
and suppliers while completing the preparedness document. |
