Plan Purpose, Goals, and Objectives CHAPTER 1 Plan Purpose, Goals, and Objectives Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1.0 PLAN PURPOSE, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of the South Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East (SLFPA-E) Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is to provide a multi-use plan that establishes procedures for handling emergencies of varying magnitudes that could impact SLFPA-E and its constituent Levee Districts, thus requiring coordinated management of emergency operations to protect people and property. The plan specifies who does what, when and how to access available resources during emergencies. In Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5, the President of the United States directed the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop and administer the National Incident Management System (NIMS). This system provides a consistent, nationwide approach for federal, state, local, and tribal governments to work together effectively and efficiently to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size or complexity. The DHS has defined NIMS compliance guidelines for all federal, state and local government entities. The SLFPA-E CEMP is structured to be consistent with NIMS guidelines because SLFPA-E could be called upon to provide support to a Unified Command established by federal, state or local governmental entities. The CEMP is guided by the following goals and objectives: Goal 1: Protect life and property Objective 1.1: Identify and monitor emergency incidents Objective 1.2: Initiate timely and effective response action; Objective 1.3: Implement necessary emergency protective measures Goal 2: Ensure interagency coordination Objective 2.1: Establish procedures consistent with state and federal incident management standards. Objective 2.2: Coordinate emergency management activities of constituent Levee Districts; Objective 2.3: Coordinate response and recovery assistance from appropriate local, state and federal
