Integrated Preparedness Planning (IPP)

The Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) documents the planning, organizational, equipment, training and exercise (POETE) priorities for a multi-year period – this version outlines priorities over a three-year period from July 2023 through June 2026. This product is a living document, updated and refined annually via regional, state government, and internal Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshops (IPPWs).

The priorities identified in this document are separated by core capabilities and derived from analysis of existing strategic guidance, threat assessments, and previous exercise and incident corrective action findings. A progressive, multi-year program enables organizations and jurisdictions to develop planning documentation related to the priority areas, train personnel on its content, and exercise those documents to validate and/or implement the product in a no-fault environment. 

There is no one set of preparedness priorities that will support the needs of every community in Oregon, the statewide priorities are broad enough to allow all jurisdictions and state agencies to plan activities that align with their individual priorities and requirements as well as support the priorities of the state.

2025 IPP Update

This Oregon Statewide Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) cycle is a three-year forecast schedule with an annual review. The 2025 Annual Update is the third of three years, meaning the existing priority areas will remain the same through June 2026. The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) is asking our statewide County, Tribal, and State Department partners to participate in the 2025 Annual Update Process to:

• Organizational-Jurisdictional IPP Revision: The 2025 process will support partners revise their existing IPP products that were developed during the 2024 update process to help inform future decision-making and actively participate in the State IPP process.
• Maintain Statewide Forecast Awareness: The 2025 process will help maintain statewide awareness to the ongoing planning, training, and exercise development and events for the next 12 months through the review/revision of data and/or information shared during the 2024 annual update. The 2025 process will continue to build upon the successes and lessons learned during the 2024 process.
• Integrate Equipment Needs into the Process: The 2025 process will add the collection of equipment needs, building on the 2024 process that focused on planning, training, and exercise activities. The collection of equipment needs will support partners assess what resources are necessary to equip recently completed planning activities and identify current grant opportunities that may fulfill their needs.

The 2025 process will continue to focus on State Government Agencies, County Governments, and Tribal Governments developing and implementing their own IPP products. Collectively, Oregon will enter a more informed and collaborative process in 2026 to create Version 2 of the State of Oregon IPP (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2029).
