OTHER STATE & FEDERAL RESPONSE PLANS

The state's local governments are able to handle the vast majority of emergencies and smaller disasters without the need for outside assistance.  Approximately 1-2% of these emergencies, however, require significant assistance from one or more state agencies in any given year.  There are also occasions when a disaster or emergency becomes large enough to warrant the request for outside federal assistance.  This typically takes the form of a request to FEMA, but in some cases other federal agencies are also called in to assist.

OTHER STATE PLANS

In addition to the state emergency response plans that everyone associates with emergency management, TEMA and other state agencies develop and maintain a wide variety of support and administrative plans, all of which are required to be coordinated with the Tennessee Emergency Management Plan.

·         State Public Assistance Administrative Plan (April, 2002)

·         State Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Admin Plan

·         State Individual & Family Grant Administrative Plan (January, 2002)

·         State Logistics Response Plan (July, 2007)
