"Traditionally, the focus of a (governmental) jurisdiction’s operational planning effort has been the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). EOPs are plans that define the scope of preparedness and emergency management activities necessary for that jurisdiction. The EOP structures and concepts that follow provide an example for jurisdictions to use when developing any plan. The EOP format works well for both conventional and complex emergency operations."[1]

"A jurisdiction’s EOP is a document that:

  • "Assigns responsibility to organizations and individuals for carrying out specific actions that exceed routine responsibility at projected times and places during an emergency
  • "Sets forth lines of authority and organizational relationships and shows how all actions will be coordinated
  • "Describes how people (including unaccompanied minors, individuals with disabilities, others with access and functional needs, and individuals with limited English proficiency) and property are protected
  • "Identifies personnel, equipment, facilities, supplies, and other resources available within the jurisdiction or by agreement with other jurisdictions
  • "Reconciles requirements with other jurisdictions." [1]
