An emergency operations plan (EOP) is a key component of an emergency management program that establishes the overall authority, roles, and functions performed during incidents.
An EOP: |
- Assigns responsibility to organizations and individuals.
- Sets forth lines of authority and organizational relationships and shows how all actions will be coordinated.
- Describes how people and property are protected.
- Identifies personnel, equipment, facilities, supplies, and other resources.
- Reconciles requirements with other jurisdictions.
- Is flexible enough for use in all emergencies.
