Class, this is the first of three EOP assignments. This first assignment is your venture into writing an all-hazards EOP utilizing the Basic Plan. Next week, you will dive into writing an Emergency Support Function annex that is normally included in an EOP, and you will wrap it up by completing an Incident-Specific annex that would be included in an EOP. These three assignments will give you a great amount of knowledge on three main areas of the Emergency Operations Plan.
Write an all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the fictional location of Bobsville. Create only the “Basic Plan” section according to the examples in CPG101 v2 Chapter 3 and Appendix C. (Annexes will be created in other assignments and future classes as you progress through the program.)
As the basis for your basic all-hazards EOP, use the description of the town, the Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) you created in EDMG101, or if you have not taken EDMG101, use the sample provided here.
You are allowed to consult other sample EOPs as a reference to create yours but should be altering the details to fit the specific location you are addressing and doing the best you can to write in your own words. You will use this document in future classes and execute this plan so help yourself by being thorough.
As I said, it is fine to consult established EOP’s you find online if you have difficulty answering a section, but it is best not to copy and paste from that EOP directly into your EOP. You can easily reword the material to fit in your EOP without copying and pasting.
Click here for a Basic Plan Template. It does not need to be fancy like the one shown. It is just a template with information to help you with the assignment.
Also, it is common practice in the Emergency Management field to share and adopt proven documents and templates which are then tailored to account for local hazards and resources available. Because of that, you do not need to reference any sources you use to help in the development of your EOP.
The elements I want in your Basic Plan EOP are as follows. Do not provide any more information than what is provided below. I want everything neat and organized in your EOP:
Page 1 – Cover Page
Page 2 – Table of Contents
(You must number every page in the paper, either in the header or the footer and then in the Table of Contents, provide the section and page number for the major sections of the paper found in Bold font).
Page 3 – Approval and Implementation Plan
This section should include the information found in the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide as well as an answer to the two items below:
1. Whose buy-in and support you need to ensure the effectiveness of the plan and how you propose to secure it.
2. How to share this plan with city/county officials, response organizations, and the public. Would there be an opportunity for feedback?
Page 4 to the end of the paper as follows:
Purpose, Scope, Situation Overview, and Planning Assumptions
1. Purpose
2. Scope
3. Situation Overview to include the following three components:
1. Hazard Analysis Summary
2. Capability Assessment
3. Mitigation Overview
4. Planning Assumptions
Concept of Operations
Organization and Assignment Responsibilities
Direction, Control, and Coordination
Information Collection, Analysis, and Dissemination
Communication
Administration, Finance, and Logistics
Plan Development and Maintenance
Do not copy and paste from the supplied resources provided in the instructions. Instead, use the resources as an example to provide the necessary information on the Basic Plan EOP for the town of Bobsville.
See the CPG101 beginning on page 3-12 or Appendix C beginning on page C-5 for a detailed explanation of the above sections.
Please create your response in a Microsoft word document, and upload it as an attachment for submission. Pages are to be double-spaced utilizing Verdana 12 point font text and 1-inch margins.
