The FIOP begins with a list and brief description of planning assumptions that establish context for the Concept of Operations, Authorities and References, and Annexes sections. Next, the Concept of Operations section describes how Federal capabilities that support mitigation activities throughout the whole community are integrated, synchronized, managed, and delivered.

A concept of operations is a written or graphic statement that clearly and concisely explains what the decision maker/leader intends to accomplish in an operation using the available resources.
