There are three basic components to the EOP. Your EOP should:

1. Serve as an overview of your jurisdiction’s approach to emergency management, including broad policies, plans, and procedures.
2. Contain functional annexes that address specific activities critical to emergency response and recovery.
3. Contain hazard-specific appendixes that support each functional annex (as necessary) and contain technical information, details, and methods for use in emergency operations. It must address the scope of interventions and contain an appendix where the details of operations are listed.
