EMPG Program Appendix | 2023 Page H-7 <br />•Points of Distribution (PODs) Training: FEMA Logistics developed a comprehensive POD <br />training to assist states in developing actionable emergency distribution plans and understanding <br />associated challenges. Additional information, including an explanatory DVD, POD guide, and <br />online exam, are available on the Emergency Management Institute’s (EMI) website at FEMA - <br />Emergency Management Institute (EMI) Course | IS-26: Guide to Points of Distribution. <br />•Interagency Logistics (IL) Training: This basic IL training course (Interagency Logistics <br />Training, E8540) familiarizes participants with the IL concepts of planning and response. The <br />course also provides an overview of IL Partner disaster response organizations, discusses <br />parameters for logistics support coordination, and creates a whole community forum to exchange <br />the best logistics practices. Recipients may find more information on this and other courses by <br />visiting the EMI website Emergency Management Institute | EMI Courses & Schedules (fema.gov). <br />•Other Logistics Planning Resources: Recipients will find additional planning guidance at: <br />Planning Guides | FEMA.gov. Specific to logistics planning, Comprehensive Preparedness Guide <br />(CPG) 101, Version 2.0 provides guidance on how to incorporate logistics into EOPs. Additionally, <br />the Supply Chain Resilience Guide provides emergency managers with recommendations and best <br />practices on how to analyze local supply chains and work with the private sector to enhance supply <br />chain resilience using a five-phased approach. <br />Funding for Critical Emergency Supplies <br />Critical emergency supplies—such as shelf stable products, water, and basic medical supplies—are an <br />allowable expense under the EMPG Program. Each state must have FEMA’s approval of a five-year viable <br />inventory management plan prior to allocating grant funds for stockpiling purposes. The inventory <br />management five-year plan should include a distribution strategy and related sustainment costs if the grant <br />expenditure is over $100,000. <br />Reporting <br />Annual DM plan reviews will be reported in the Performance Progress Report (PPR) for the quarter ending <br />September 30 of the most recently awarded EMPG Program. Reviews that result in an update must be <br />submitted to the Regional Grants Division Director or Regional EMPG Program Manager for review by <br />regional logistics staff. The Regional Logistics Staff will review and rate the plans using the latest FEMA <br />Distribution Management Plan Guide 2.0. <br />Evacuation Planning <br />EMPG Program recipients should review and update their EOP in accordance with Comprehensive <br />Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 v3, Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans. Recipients <br />are highly encouraged to include an evacuation plan or annex as part of their EOP as well as plans to <br />exercise and validate the evacuation plan and capabilities. At a minimum, recipients should incorporate the <br />National Response Framework’s Mass Evacuation Incident Annex’s planning cons iderations, and other <br />FEMA documents related to evacuation planning, when developing their own Evacuation Plan or Annex. <br />See National Response Framework (NRF), Third Edition (June 2016) and NRF Mass Evacuation Incident <br />Annex (June 2008). Additional National Preparedness resources are available at: National Preparedness <br />and Planning Guides. Specific to evacuation planning, the Evacuation and Shelter in Place Guidance <br />identifies relevant concepts, considerations, and principles that can inform jurisdictions in planning for <br />evacuation and/or shelter-in-place protective actions.
