Contingency Preparedness Planning Manual Volume I: Contingency Planning Policy

The Coast Guard's incident response roles and responsibilities continue to evolve, especially following events such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and Superstorm Sandy. The concept of preparedness has also broadened in scope through the establishment of reference (a) and the five National Frameworks. This Manual recognizes the evolution of these concepts through an explanation of Coast Guard roles and responsibilities in preparedness, planning, and response processes used by the Coast Guard. It also establishes requirements for Coast Guard plan maintenance. In addition, the appendices include updated lists of required plans by unit and an improved list of Coast Guard contingencies. The focus of this Manual is contingency planning; it does not include guidance that would lead to products such as the Commandant's Strategic Planning Direction (SPD) and an Area Operational Planning Direction (OPD).
