This Emergency Planning Assistance Program (EPAP) developed by EMRS is a free program that will be offered to all municipalities and is focused-on building emergency and continuity planning capabilities to strengthen preparedness and resiliency from the local to county level. Each municipality will have the opportunity to complete (4) emergency plans: Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), Continuity of Operation Plan (COOP), Continuity of Government Plan (COG) and Recovery Plan and will be provided training and technical assistance through Integrated Solutions Consulting, Corp. and EMRS to complete them. The plans will be stored in EMRS Knowledge Management System (KMS). While the focus is on all communities throughout Cook County, the overarching goal is to ensure inclusion of communities of greatest need, to support the decision-making process before, during and after disasters of all types. This is a unique opportunity that will only be available through the limited duration of the ARPA program.
This contract is awarded through a Comparable Government Procurement pursuant to Section 34-140 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
