An EOP can be structured in various ways. The functional format, which is highlighted in this course, includes the following elements:

• Basic plan: Provides an overview of your jurisdiction’s approach to emergency management including broad policies, plans, and procedures.  
• Functional annexes: Address specific activities critical to emergency response and recovery. 
• Hazard- or threat-specific annexes: Describe strategies for managing missions for a specific hazard. Depending upon the EOP’s structure, hazard-specific information may be included in functional annexes rather than stand-alone hazard-specific annexes.
