When an incident occurs, it can impact one or more community organizations and requires a coordinated, strategic management effort separate from the tactical management of the incident that will occur at the affected organization(s).
To accomplish this, a Crisis Management Plan (CMP) should be developed for the community by the Federation or convening agency.
The purpose of the CMP is to outline the local Federation or agency’s approach to a coordinated crisis management effort.
