About CEPP |
The Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership (CEPP) provides a platform for public, private, and philanthropic organizations to work together on preparedness issues throughout the great State of Colorado. CEPP collaborates on projects and programs that promote joint emergency planning and information sharing.
The CEPP is a non-profit organization 501 (c) (3) that promotes joint emergency planning between the public, private and philanthropic sectors in Colorado. We work with federal, state, and local agencies as well as private sector and non-governmental organizations to strengthen emergency planning partnerships. The CEPP’s strength is its strong partnerships and far-reaching network of approximately 3200 members. Our members represent retail, critical infrastructure, commercial properties, sports and entertainment venues, hospitals, education, and a myriad of other industries throughout Colorado. Membership is free! The CEPP's mission would not be possible without the generosity and vision of our primary sponsor the Anschutz Foundation. |
Our History |
The Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership (CEPP) was created in 2008, just prior to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Denver. Our purpose was to connect the public and private sector during this event, to ensure the business community had situational awareness of planning efforts surrounding the DNC. It was recognized that this public-private collaboration contributed to the success of the DNC and was an important part of emergency preparedness planning efforts in Colorado.
Following the DNC, CEPP worked to provide the private sector with educational briefings and workshops on emergency preparedness topics. It also provided an avenue for government entities to interact with businesses and to gain a better understanding of the issues the private sector faces with regards to preparedness |
