This document shows the relationships among emergency preparedness tasks under CSEPP and the available planning guidance, training resources, and exercise requirements that relate to them. The purpose is to help CSEPP participants get the best use of all the documents that have been produced for the program. For example, a CSEPP planner working on a specific emergency preparedness task could use the Crosswalk to identify useful planning recommendations and training materials. Conversely, an emergency manager whose organization had trouble in a CSEPP exercise could use the table to find the problematic exercise objective and then identify the training materials available to help correct any deficiency.

The main body of this document is a table organized according to the tasks that need to be accomplished to prepare for a possible CSEPP emergency. For each of these tasks, the table lists the relevant sections of the CSEPP Planning Guidance, the available training materials and other technical resources, along with pertinent exercise evaluation guides (EEGs). The EEGs are drawn from the document, Exercise Policy and Guidance for the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, dated September 7, 2004, which describes eight Emergency Response Outcomes and the EEGs associated with each. Appendix A provides additional information about each of the CSEPP training materials, including the objectives, format, and components of the material, along with a source for obtaining the material. Appendix B provides similar information for training courses required for compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Appendix C describes other, non-training resources that can help CSEPP communities reach their preparedness objectives. Appendix D lists emergency personnel categories along with the tasks and training materials relevant to each category. Appendix E consists of a list of the acronyms and abbreviations used in the table.
