RCPGP provides a framework for enhancing the Nation's security and resilience for catastrophic events through fixing shortcomings in existing plans, building regional planning processes and planning communities, and linking operational needs identified in catastrophic event plans to resource allocation. The program supports innovative approaches to catastrophic preparedness through planning and personnel, and aligning existing operational resources in the 10 selected areas.
