EPRO directs and coordinates emergency response activities by CMS components, to events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods. In addition to the coordination role, EPRO also establishes policies, procedures, operational plans, and conducts training, testing, exercises and evaluations to ensure preparedness and workforce readiness to respond to all types of disasters, incidents, and public health emergencies.
