CONTINUED IMPLEMENTATION OF IEMS. We are still in a developmental phase or shakedown period with respect to the implementation of the Integrated Emergency Management System (IEMS). After a crash program in FFY 84 involving preparation of Hazard Analysis (HA), Capability Assessments (CA) , and Multi-Year Development Plans (MYDP) we are faced in FFY 85 with refinements to the initial effort. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has developed Hazard Identification, Capability Assessment, and Multi-Year Development Plan (HICA!MYDP) instructions and forms to establish a nationwide data base for determining the status of emergency preparedness and the impact of FEMA funds on State and local emergency management operations. The revised and automated system promises to provide useful information to State and local government planning and budgeting, as well as providing a data base which will improve Comprehensive Cooperative Agreement negotiations between the States and FEMA. It is also our hope that the information will provide credible evidence of the extent of state and local government emergency management needs and thus influence the FEMA budget developmental process. A proposed schedule for implementation of the automated HlCA/MYDP is included below. Proposed Schedule Initial Implementation of Automated HlCA/MYDP FY 198~ December 14, 1984 November 15- Orientation session held in each Region for Regional and State staff; advance copy of final Hazard Identifica- tion, Capability Assessment, and Multi-Year Development Plan (HICA/MYDP) guidance should be available. January 7, 1985 Bulk shipment of printed guidance available to Regions and States; States send to local jurisdictions. (open) Local jurisdictions complete HICA!MYDP and mail to States for State review (date to be determined by each State based on internal scheduling considerations). April 30 States forward local HICA!MYDPs . to data processing center for data entry. August 1 States receive computer reports summarizing local HICA/ MYDPs for use in preparing State MYDPs (reports for redistribution to participating local jurisdictions will be provided to States in September). September 30 States complete MYDPs and forward to data processing center for data entry.
