The following emergency management plans were designed specifically for the City of Redmond and have been adopted by the Redmond City Council.

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 

This plan provides the City of Redmond guidance in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from an incident. It discusses guidelines on how city departments coordinate their actions to continue essential functions.

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 2015 Cover PageOne of a family of plans published by the City of Redmond, the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is the framework for city-wide mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities for all types of hazards. Its intent is to provide a structure for standardizing plans citywide and to facilitate interoperability between local, state, and federal governments.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) developed a list of critical functions that often need to be enacted in response to disasters. Those national-standard functions, called Emergency Support Functions (ESFs), are customized and defined within state and local CEMPs for interoperability.
