The Federal Government is the nation’s largest employer (and the first or second largest in many metropolitan areas), and in times of emergency, we have a responsibility to collaborate with our community partners.  To that end, the CFEB plays a vital role in creating effective collaboration on emergency response and readiness, educating our federal workforce on health and safety issues in emergency situations, and providing an annual continuity exercise for agencies to test their Continuity of Operations Plans.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COUNCIL

The CFEB Emergency Preparedness Council facilitates interagency communication, shared resources, and workforce education in the area of emergency preparedness and continuity planning.  The Council communicates, collaborates, and coordinates programs and services to synchronize efficient, effective use of resources and further agency expertise in continuity planning and emergency preparedness.

MILE HIGH DICE

Mile High DICE is an annual continuity exercise hosted by the Colorado Federal Executive Board (CFEB) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). What began as a Denver area exercise for Federal agencies now includes state government from the six states that make up FEMA Region VIII (Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming) along with cities and counties. The exercise provides participants the opportunity to improve their continuity plans and procedures by learning the latest policy updates, discussing their continuity planning efforts, testing their planning assumptions, and sharing best practices.

FAMILY SUPPORT PLANNING GUIDE

The Family Support Planning Guide is presented by FEMA Region VIII and the Colorado Federal Executive Board

When a disaster strikes our communities, Federal employees face a unique challenge. We must ensure that our own loved ones are safe from the impact of the disaster while continuing to serve the public by providing essential community services.

Making a disaster preparedness plan for our families and loved ones to follow during a disaster is an important first step to giving each of us the peace of mind necessary during a disaster. A minimal investment of time and money can go a long way toward that piece of mind for both you and your loved ones. A family disaster plan is the key.

To help you get started on your family preparedness journey, FEMA Region VIII, in partnership with the Colorado Federal Executive Board, has developed this guide to serve as a reference as you and your family prepare for disasters and emergencies.
