The Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) is intended to enhance regional catastrophic preparedness and continuity of operations efforts, with the aim of strengthening the Nation against risks associated with catastrophic events. The RCPGP centers on the highest risk Urban Areas and surrounding regions, where its impact will have the most significant effect on our collective security and resilience.
Each site eligible for participation in the RCPGP, designated as the RCPGP site, includes a collection of jurisdictions that will work collaboratively to fulfill the program requirements. The RCPGP initiative is provided in response to the direction by Congress to develop an "all-hazard regional catastrophic event plans and preparedness" for Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) urban areas and participating governments. |

Planning Guides & Templates:
The goal of these programs is to allow jurisdictions to determine how to improve their security and resilience through a process best described as "Fix, Build, and Resource" - that is, fix shortcomings in existing plans; build regional planning processes and planning communities; and link operational needs identified in plans to resource allocation, including homeland security grant programs by utilizing the planning guides and templates developed by the Alliance.
