Pre-disaster and post-disaster Recovery planning • Pre-event response/recovery/mitigation plans in coordination with State, local , and tribal governments • Developing/enhancing other response and recovery plans • Develop recovery plans and preparedness programs consistent with the principles and guidance in the NDRF that will provide the foundation for recovery programs and whole-community partnerships . Preparedness and pre-disaster planning was given special attention within the NDRF with specific guidance : Planning for a Successful Disaster Recovery (pages 63-70) . For more information on the NDRF see http://www. fema. gov/pdf/recoveryframeworWndrf .pdf. F/ERO Credentialing and Validation : • Working group meetings and conferences relating to emergency responder credentialing and validation • Compiling data to enter into an emergency responder repository • Coordinating with other State , local , territorial , and tribal partners to ensure interoperability among existing and planned credentialing and validation systems and equipment • Planning to incorporate emergency responder identity and credential validation into training and exercises . Continuity of Operations / Continuity of Government Planning (COOP/COG ) Grant Funding Opportunity COOP/COG planning is the fundamental responsibility of every government agency that performs an essential function at the State and local level . In order to conduct necessary emergency operations , recovery actions , and other key essential functions during a large-scale or catastrophic event , the agency must have effective Continuity plans in place to support continued operations . Continuity efforts also provide the foundational basis for COG programs , such as succession planning , which are designed to ensure the survival of not only leadership at the State and local level , but also an enduring constitutional government . State and local plans to address COOP/COG issues should be consistent with the Nations Continuity Policy described in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20 ( HSPD-20) ; the National Continuity Policy Implementation Plan ( NCPIP) ; and Continuity Guidance Circular' s 1 (CGC 1 ) and 2 (CGC 2 ) , which provides guidance for State , local , territorial , and tribal governments , and private sector organizations in developing robust Continuity plans and programs in support of a comprehensive and integrated national continuity capability. Continuity issues to address include , but are not limited to : • Determine essential functions and activities , interdependencies , and resources needed to perform them • Establish orders of succession and delegations of authority to key agency positions and establish and maintain current roster(s) of fully equipped and trained COOP personnel with the authority to perform essential functions • Provide for the identification and preparation of alternate operating facilities for relocated operations • Provide for the regular training , testing , and exercising of COOP personnel , systems , and facilities • Provide for reconstitution of agency capabilities , and transition from continuity operations to normal operations 15
