EMPG Program Appendix | February 2021 Page H-5 management five-year plan should include a distribution strategy and related sustainment costs if the grant expenditure is more than $100,000. Reporting Annual DM plan reviews will be reported in the Periodic Performance Report (PPR) for the quarter ending September 30 of the most recently awarded EMPG Program. Reviews that result in an update must be submitted to the regional grants division director or EMPG Program manager for review by regional logistics staff. The Regional Logistics Staff will review and rate the plans using the FEMA Distribution Management Plan Guide, August 2019. Evacuation Planning EMPG Program recipients should review and update their EOP at least once every two years in accordance with Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 v2, Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans. Recipients are highly encouraged to include an evacuation plan or annex as part of their EOP as well as plans to exercise and validate the evacuation plan and capabilities. At a minimum, recipients should incorporate the National Response Framework’s Mass Evacuation Incident Annex’s planning considerations, and other FEMA documents related to evacuation planning, when developing their own Evacuation Plan or Annex. See National Response Framework (NRF), Third Edition (June 2016) and NRF Mass Evacuation Incident Annex (June 2008). Additional National Preparedness resources are available at: National Preparedness | FEMA.gov and Planning Guides | FEMA.gov. Specific to evacuation planning, the Evacuation and Shelter in Place Guidance identifies relevant concepts, considerations, and principles that can inform jurisdictions in planning for evacuation and/or shelter-in-place protective actions. Disaster Housing Planning State-Led Disaster Housing Task Force Based on lessons learned from recent disasters, FEMA strongly encourages EMPG Program recipients to establish a State-Led Disaster Housing Task Force (SLDHTF) plan as part of their EOP or as a standalone document and update their plan at least once every two years. SLDHTFs lead and coordinate state, local, private sector, and community-based actions to assess housing impacts, identify appropriate post-disaster housing options, and establish processes for expediting post- disaster housing delivery. SLDHTF plans should clearly identify the roles, responsibilities, composition, and mobilization procedures for the SLDHTF, and how the SLDHTF integrates into the incident command structure. To have a successful SLDHTF plan, FEMA encourages recipients to: • Complete the State Housing Strategy Template; and • Establish a State Disaster Recovery Coordinator. State Housing Strategy Template EMPG Program recipients are strongly encouraged to update their State Housing Strategy using the State Housing Strategy Template provided by FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) as part of their EOP or as a standalone document. In addition to the State Housing Strategy Template, recipients are encouraged to define and emphasize sheltering, short term, and permanent housing planning. The State Housing Strategy Template helps states identify priorities and document critical, jurisdiction- specific processes and procedures to promote an efficient disaster housing mission. The template walks recipients through the following planning considerations as seen in the table below.
