to enhance catastrophic incident
preparedness in Tier 1 and selected Tier
2 Urban Areas. RCPGP is intended to

including the development of integrated
planning communities, plans, protocols,
and procedures to manage a
catastrophic event. The collection of
information for the RCPGP is mandated
by Title III of the Consolidated Security,

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

59209

Disaster Assistance, and Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 110–
329). This program was originally
created under the general grant and
cooperative agreement making powers
of the Secretary under 6 U.S.C.
112(b)(2).
The RCPGP information is to be used
to produce improved catastrophic plans
and planning processes by the states
and local jurisdictions involved.
Specifically, the plans and planning
must address shortcomings in existing
plans to address regional catastrophic
planning issues, including the
establishment of a regional network of
plans to address catastrophic events.
Plans will include a process for
establishing an incident command
structure and will also identify roles
and responsibilities for each
organization. Additionally, plans will
identify detailed resource, personnel,
and asset allocations in order to execute
strategic objectives and translate
strategic priorities into operational
execution. These plans should apply
existing capabilities and assist in
assessing gaps in needed capabilities.
