Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) | Fairbanks North Star Borough, AK

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) | Fairbanks North Star Borough, AK Skip to Main Content Home Government Departments Emergency Operations Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Review Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) The Fairbanks North Star Borough Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) provides the framework for how our community prepares for, responds to, and recovers from emergencies and disasters. It outlines the Borough’s coordinated approach to protecting lives, property, the environment, and essential services during events ranging from wildfires and severe winter storms to floods, public health emergencies, and technological hazards. The CEMP is an “all-hazards” plan designed to support the entire community—residents, businesses, partner agencies, and local jurisdictions. It establishes roles and responsibilities, identifies critical response functions, and aligns Borough operations with state and federal emergency management standards. To ensure the plan remains current and effective, the Borough updates the CEMP regularly and invites public review and input. Community feedback helps strengthen preparedness, reflect local values and needs, and improve resilience across Interior Alaska. Below is access to the full CEMP, including the Basic Plan, Emergency Support Functions (ESFs), Functional Support Functions (FSFs), and Hazard-Specific Functions (HSFs), along with opportunities to submit comments or recommendations.

Interested in making a difference? There are several ways that you can support the shelter and pets! Foster Our foster program focuses on providing loving care for animals who need a little extra time before they can be adopted. This includes animals recovering from surgery and underage animals needing a home environment to heal and/or mature. It also helps extend our capacity and gives animals who need a break from the shelter environment a home experience. If you would like to participate in our foster program, please contact us for an application! Tundra Tails To Trails We are excited to introduce our new program that pairs community members with shelter dogs for field trips! Field trips are designed for daytime outings only. This program was created to help reduce kennel stress, provide dogs with enrichment, and increase their visibility for adoption! It also gives the shelter valuable insight into how the dogs behave outside the shelter environment. Please review the program materials prior to contacting the shelter. This program is available by appointment only! Tundra Tails To Trails Manual Volunteer Our shelter greatly appreciates our community and how you support us! Shelter pets benefit from the simple things in life, such as folded newspapers. This is a great way to volunteer from the comfort of your own home or with a group. If you are interested and would like instructions, please contact us. In-person volunteering is currently only available to adults. Please fill out this form and submit to Animal Control: Volunteer Application Donate We greatly appreciate your donations, whether monetary or in-kind. Thank you in advance for thinking of us! The Shelter Fund Founded in 2002, the Fairbanks Animal Shelter Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit striving to make a difference in the lives of all animals who are in the Fairbanks North Star Borough Animal Shelter by augmenting services which are not included in the FNSB operating budget. To donate to the Shelter Fund, please visit their website or use the green donation box located inside the shelter lobby. The Pet Pantry The Pet Pantry is very similar to a food/supply bank. Items that are often donated are pet food, cages, accessories, leashes, bowls, blankets, and more. These items are available to those in need and donated items are greatly appreciated by the community. Our Pet Pantry is located next to our front door and is completely self-serve. Shelter Wish List While animals are at the shelter waiting to go home, there are some things that help to make their stay more comfortable. Check back frequently to see how you can support the animals at the shelter. Dogs Extra large and large-sized Kongs Hard rubber toys Soft dog treats (jerky treats, meatball treats) Canned food (preferred brands: Natural Balance, Purina, Iams) Potty pads Fleece blankets Annamaet Extra dog food Wire or plastic dog crates (new or gently used) Bales of straw Cats Small fleece blankets Canned food Non-clumping, unscented clay litter Plastic cat carriers (new or gently used) Other Items Pill pockets for cats and dogs Newspaper Share a Success Story!
