Purpose

This publication provides the policies and procedures required for the establishment of a single, comprehensive, and integrated emergency management (EM) program on Army installations, facilities, and activities (hereafter referred to as installations). The Army EM Program is responsible for all activities and operations related to preparing for, mitigating the potential effects of, preventing, responding to, and recovering from all multi-agency and/or multijurisdictional emergencies on or impacting Army installations worldwide. The Army EM Program functions within an all hazards environment consisting of all natural, technological (man-made), and terrorism hazards. The intent of the Army EM Program is not to replace existing, well-functioning single-agency and/or single-hazard-set programs, plans, or capabilities, but rather to integrate and synchronize these existing capabilities while coordinating the development of capabilities required for the transition to effective management of multi-agency and/or multi-jurisdictional emergencies regardless of cause.

Applicability. This pamphlet applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. Specifically, this pamphlet applies to all personnel, organizations, and contractors that have or will have the responsibility to prepare for, mitigate the potential effects of, prevent, respond to, or recover  from all natural, technological, and terrorism hazards on or impacting any Army installation, facility, or activity worldwide.
