The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Software Application for Nursing Homes contains key features to help nursing home administrators, owners, and key management staff create a customized emergency operations plan which is aligned with state and federal laws and is based on the National Incident Management System.

Because this software application was designed following the basic format of the Florida Department of Health's State Emergency Operation Plan, it also includes the basic EOP components which are recommended by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be used by jurisdictions at the state and local level. Therefore, the application will be aligned with any other state's Emergency Operations Plan which includes these same components.

Features

  • CEMP User Interactive Component: Accessed through the CEMP link or through manage, the interactive component of the CEMP walks users through a complete series of prompts and questions localized around these components: 1) Administration, 2) Introduction, 3) Situation, and 4) Concept of Operations.
    • Read About Bookmarks: These informational briefs are strategically located throughout the Interactive Component, supporting the user with explanations of what is being asked.
    • Sample Statements: Similar to the Read About Bookmarks, these sample statements are interspersed throughout the Interactive Component and provide mock language which a nursing home might use to build a response.
  • Reports: This is the output section of the application. Accessed through the Reports link, these may be retrieved under Get Report.
