body
Background:
The Charlotte County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) establishes the framework to ensure that Charlotte County and the City of Punta Gorda will be adequately prepared to deal with these hazards.
The CEMP outlines the general roles and responsibilities of County agencies when preparing for, responding to, or recovering from a large-scale emergency or disaster. The CEMP also coordinates emergency and disaster activities with volunteer organizations and businesses that serve Charlotte County. The CEMP is designed as an all-hazards plan establishing uniform policy and procedures for the effective coordination actions within the five phases of emergency management: prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
