1. Emergency Operations Plan Overview and Administration The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP or Plan) is designed to assist City and other staff members who have key roles and responsibilities for responding during emergencies. Emergency management organization staff that support emergency response, report to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or Department Operations Centers (DOC), or are assigned to field response duties should use the EOP to guide their actions in completing assigned tasks. 1.1 PLAN FORMAT BASIC PLAN The EOP provides an overview of the City's organization, policies, and approach to all phases of emergency preparedness. It is the foundation document for the City's emergency management program. The EOP identifies the functions and responsibilities for the emergency response organization and EOC staff and provides guidance for plan maintenance. It describes internal processes that address emergency response and coordination. The intent of the EOP is to provide supporting documentation to emergency response staff that is detailed enough for effective response yet is flexible enough to be used in any emergency response. APPENDICES The EOP appendices include forms, checklists, and other supplemental information to be used in preparation for, and during, an emergency. Appendices also include supporting information that may frequently change, such as personnel rosters and contact lists. 1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The EOP provides guidance to City staff to promote effective response and recovery operations when any emergency affects City operations or the community. The scope of the EOP includes the City's population, personnel, property, and facilities, and it is applicable to any incident resulting from any hazard or threat. The EOP: • Describes the City's organizational structure and management system for emergency response • Sets forth lines of authority and organizational relationships, and shows how emergency response activity will be coordinated • Identifies the actions taken to activate and operate the City EOC • Identifies personnel, equipment, facilities, supplies, and other resources available to support EOC operations • Provides detailed guidance for EOC staff to carry out their responsibilities • Describes EOC processes and products such as the EOC Action Plan and Situation Status Report 1 RESO.
