In May of 2025, FEMA released a 3.1 version of the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 - Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans.

The CEMIR ran this version through Google Gemini to compare against the 3.0 version (heck, that's what AI is for, right?) - we were fearful that certain "das der verboten" words were scrubbed. Turns out they were: Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity were censored and removed; as was all mentions of Climate Change.

So, Section 1.1.4 is completely gone, and as an example in one section the word "Inclusion" (on page 5 in both versions) was changed to "Whole Community". This section was probably kept because it was ADA related. On the positive side, we do see that Accessibility appears to be intact and the Community Lifelines were updated, along with better (more) graphics.
