For Community Based Organizations

Community Based Organizations: Standards and Indicators for Emergency Preparedness and Response (PDF)

The framework provided by this document is intended as a planning tool for community based organizations to assist them in the development of their emergency preparedness programs and activities. Measurable indicators are important for emergency responders and communities to evaluate the status of their capacity/capability to respond in an emergency.

Achievement of the standards and indicators is a long-term process for most agencies. Agencies and funders should recognize this as an on-going process that needs to be revisited on a regular basis. The standards/indicators offer a continuum for agency preparedness that will not likely apply to every agency. Agencies will need to prioritize their plans based on the population served, identified essential services and existing capacity.
