The City of Los Angeles prioritizes comprehensive emergency preparedness, leading to the development of the Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP). Formerly known as the Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan, the IPP is a dynamic three-year strategy aimed at effectively managing risks and challenges posed by emergencies and disasters. This plan revolves around testing four Core Capabilities annually, adapting to emerging hazards and evolving city needs.
The IPP's development involved a multi-phase approach, engaging key stakeholders and experts. Internal meetings within the Emergency Management Department (EMD) determined:
- Emergency plans for and annexes to the Emergency Operations Plan that either were recently updated and needed to be tested, or might require updates
- Developing a timeline to update those plans and test them in synchronization with the defined Core Capabilities
