The Roadmap is one of the US’s first completed comprehensive plans to implement a regional metropolitan strategy for emergency preparedness in the nonprofit community.
Representatives from Greater Washington nonprofit organizations, joined by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG), FEMA and DHS officials, as well as disaster preparedness specialists from Deloitte, unveiled the plan, which is the result of a two-year initiative.
The Roadmap will help the nonprofit community build plans to operate more effectively and efficiently during a time of regional crisis. It addresses such areas as: integrated planning and training; strengthened partnerships between nonprofits, government and the private sector; improved coordination and communication networks; and sustained capacity to respond to all-hazard events, emphasizing long-term recovery capabilities.
