Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

The Concept of Operations (CONOPS) section explains in broad terms the intent of the EOP. The CONOPS presents a clear picture of the sequence and scope of the planned emergency response, what should happen, when, and at whose direction.

  Concept of Operations

  • Emergency plan goals.
  • Division of responsibilities.
  • Sequence of actions—before, during, and after the incident.
  • Requesting resources—who can request, who will fill them, how additional aid will be requested.
  • An overview of:
    • Direction and control activities,
    • Alert and warning processes, and
    • Continuity of operations (COOP) matters.
