Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidance on the fundamentals of planning and development of Emergency Operations Plans. The Distribution Management Plan Guide 2.0 (fema.gov) released in January 2022 provides information on how to develop the DM plan annex, key DM plan components, how to review and update a DM plan, and how FEMA reviews and evaluates the plans. A state/territory should submit its DM Plan as both a Word document and PDF to its FEMA Regional Grants Division. The maturity level of the plan may vary by state/territory, but the recipient is required to submit a DM Plan that accurately reflects the state or territory’s current capabilities and capacity to distribute resources to survivors after a disaster and addresses the following components: Requirements Defining; Resource Ordering; Distribution Methods; Inventory Management; Transportation; Staging; and Demobilization. The DM plan must be reviewed by recipients on an annual basis and updated as necessary by September 30th of each calendar year. In the applicable secondary CPG 101 assessment portion of the online URT, jurisdictions capture whether they have developed and incorporated a DM plan in their EOP. •The DM plan should focus on the distribution of commodities and supplies such as food, water, generators and tarps to survivors following a disaster. •The DM plan should address strategies/plans for the following: o Requirements Defining o Resource Ordering o Distribution Methods o Inventory Management o Staging Areas o Transportation o Demobilization FEMA Regional Logistics Branch staff will work with EMPG Program recipients to provide technical assistance during the development and maintenance of their DM plans, and to ensure all recipients have effective DM plans capable of integrating with federal, NGOs, private sector, and state, local, tribal, and territorial stakeholders during major disasters.
