  2. Download the SCERP Toolkit.
  3. Complete the SCERP Toolkit with your planning team.
  4. Email or mail the SCERP Toolkit to the Alaska SCERP Team.
  5. The SCERP team will develop your customized SCERP plan and send it to you.
  6. Use your SCERP to run community disaster response exercises (assistance can be provided by the Alaska SCERP team).
  7. Update your SCERP annually with the local planning and Alaska SCERP teams.
