Document Summary

The diverse range of government preparedness actions may be grouped into five general categories: planning, exercise, training, equipment, and statutory authority. A drill is a controlled, supervised method by which a single disaster management operation or function is practiced or tested. It also describes how citizens and structures will be protected in the event of a disaster. It may catalog the equipment, facilities, and resources available within and outside the jurisdiction. Eops are required at every level of government, from local to national. The components of an effective emergency response plan include: hazards risk analysis, the basic plan, functional annexes, hazard-specific annexes. Before an eop can be created, a hazard risk analysis must be performed. The basic plan, also called the "base plan," is the main body of the document that describes emergency operations within the community or country. Its main purpose is to introduce and describe various concepts and policies, clarify individual and agency responsibilities, and delineate authority.
