esponsible for the maintenance <strong>of</strong> this publication and associated document. DAMO–ODP shall conduct annual<br />
reviews <strong>of</strong> this publication with consideration regarding changes in applicable or parallel policy or procedural changes<br />
in Federal laws and regulations, DOD, and Joint Staff policy, and Service regulations and requirements. DAMO–ODP<br />
is responsible for change notices, updates, and revisions to this publication based upon this annual review process.<br />
b. Force modernization proponent. DAMO–ODP will coordinate with the U.S. <strong>Army</strong> Training and Doctrine<br />
Command (TRADOC) to designate and support a force modernization proponent for the <strong>Army</strong> EM <strong>Program</strong>.<br />
c. Supplemental policies. ASCCs, ACOMs, and DRUs, especially installation-owning commands, may develop<br />
supplements to this publication at the discretion <strong>of</strong> their commander. Supplements shall be forwarded electronically to<br />
DAMO–ODP upon approval. Commanders are strongly encouraged to coordinate development <strong>of</strong> supplements with<br />
DAMO–ODP. Supplements cannot be less restrictive than the requirements set forth in this publication; however, if<br />
needed, they may be more restrictive. Waivers to supplemental guidance will be handled by the Command that<br />
developed the supplement.<br />
d. <strong>Program</strong> reviews. Per DODI 6055.17 and DODI 3020.52, installation commanders shall conduct an annual<br />
comprehensive program review to evaluate the effectiveness and adequacy <strong>of</strong> EM program implementation.<br />
e. Waiver process. When compliance with this publication is impractical due to unique local conditions, installation<br />
commanders may request a waiver from their installation-owning command (IMCOM, AMC, USARC, ARNG). An<br />
approved waiver remains in effect until the approving <strong>of</strong>ficial cancels it, in writing, or this instruction is revised. When<br />
the OPR revises this publication, the command requesting a waiver must renew the waiver request. Until a waiver is<br />
approved by the applicable higher headquarters, the Command must make every effort to comply with this publication.<br />
All commands granting waivers shall inform DAMO–ODP within 30 days <strong>of</strong> the waiver request and status. The<br />
instruction OPR must maintain a copy <strong>of</strong> all waiver requests with the record set.<br />

Community Pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />
4–1. Community pr<strong>of</strong>ile concept<br />
a. Requirements. The completion <strong>of</strong> a community pr<strong>of</strong>ile is the first step in developing an EM program. The concept<br />
centers on identification, prioritization, and allocation <strong>of</strong> limited resources during the preparedness phase. This process<br />
is executed at every level, from headquarters to installations to individuals. At the Service level, this process involves<br />
the identification and prioritization <strong>of</strong> installations based upon mission (tiers) and capability (types) in order to ensure<br />
maximum readiness with limited fiscal resources. At the headquarters level, this process is tailored to identify and<br />
prioritize installations based upon mission requirements set by the headquarters itself or by higher headquarters such as<br />
GCCs. At the installation level, this process entails a comprehensive examination <strong>of</strong> the community’s demographics,<br />
infrastructure, requirements, and resources. Completion <strong>of</strong> the community pr<strong>of</strong>ile is an IOC requirement.<br />
b. Goals. The goals <strong>of</strong> the installation community pr<strong>of</strong>ile are the following:<br />
(1) Determine the characteristics and locations <strong>of</strong> the protected populace.<br />
(2) Identify resources to protect that populace.<br />
(3) Fill identified resource gaps based upon priority <strong>of</strong> the identified needs.<br />
c. Installation prioritization. Key elements <strong>of</strong> the community pr<strong>of</strong>ile are the overarching installation tier designation<br />
and the installation type designation. These designations indicate the capability (type) and priority (tier) <strong>of</strong> the<br />
installation and impact all aspects <strong>of</strong> the EM program.<br />
(1) Mission-based structure. This structure is most commonly used with acquisition programs in order to prioritize<br />
delivery <strong>of</strong> material solutions independent <strong>of</strong> pre-existing organizational alignment necessary to correctly and effectively<br />
employ the material solutions as an integrated capability. For example, the JPM–IPP employed a mission-based<br />
3-tier system for material fielding. This is the concept employed for the installation tier designations described in<br />
chapter 14.<br />
(2) Population-based structure. This structure is most commonly used by AT and Fire and <strong>Emergency</strong> Services<br />
programs to emphasize the protection <strong>of</strong> personnel from select single-agency hazards and validate manpower requirements.<br />
For example, U.S. Northern Command employs a mission- and population-based 5-tier system for development<br />
and employment <strong>of</strong> AT capabilities.<br />
(3) Capability-based structure. This structure is most commonly used with capability integration where the integrator<br />
does not own or resource the independent activities. The capability level is determined by existing organic and<br />
external resources relative to established capability standards. If mission or population drivers increase or decrease<br />
organic and/or external capabilities, then the capability-based structure is able to adapt and address the new operational<br />
environment in a cost-effective, sustainable method. The mission still determines relative importance within each type<br />
designation as described below and prioritizes manpower, training, equipment fielding, and sustainment efforts. This is<br />
the concept employed for the installation type designations described in chapter 2.<br />
d. Demographics. Demographic information includes data related to population size, density, distribution, areas <strong>of</strong><br />
