NFPA 1600 PDF

Highlights

Significant revisions in the 2019 edition reflect the needs of all types of companies and organizations today:
The standard is reorganized for better alignment with the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) model or Deming Cycle.
New requirements to establish and maintain crisis management capabilities include critical details regarding assigned responsibilities and processes.
All-new Annex L on data interoperability for emergency management, continuity, and crisis management provides criteria for assessing your organization’s needs and capabilities, to help you develop plans to fill any gaps.
Numerous updated crosswalks and annexes reflect changes to the main body of the standard, for easier navigation and application.
The standard was adopted by the US Department of Homeland Security as a voluntary consensus standard for emergency preparedness, and the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (the 9/11 Commission) recognized NFPA 1600 as our National Preparedness Standard®.*
*The 2013, 2007, and 2010 editions of NFPA 1600 have been designated by DHS to be used by accredited third parties, to evaluate and certify compliance of entities under its Private Sector Preparedness (PS Prep) Program.
