Instructions:
You are to write an all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the fictional location of Bobsville. For this assignment, you will only be creating the Basic Plan section of the EOP. The “Required Sections” below have been slightly altered to fit the Town of Bobsville. As you have learned, EOP’s can be altered to fit the needs of the community.
As the basis for your basic all-hazards EOP, use the description of the town, and the Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) , use the sample provided here.
Resources:
Please see CPG101 v2 beginning on page 3-12 and Appendix C beginning on page C-5 for a detailed explanation of the sections found below.
Additional information can be found by clicking here for a Basic Plan Example. The example provides you with additional information on the Basic Plan and shows what an EOP looks like.
Note: The Basic Plan Example document I have provided is a state level EOP. It is just an example but can be easily used to help you with your local level EOP.
You are also allowed to consult other sample EOPs as a reference but you should alter the details to fit the Bobsville location.
Also, EOPs are written for the federal, state, and local level. The EOP you are writing is a local level EOP for Bobsville.
Citing and Referencing:
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 cite or reference any sources you use to help in the development of your EOP.
Required Sections: The required sections I want in your Basic Plan EOP are found below. Do not provide any more information than what is provided below. I also want everything neat and organized in your EOP.
You will notice that I provided page numbers for each section below where additional information can be found. I do that for this assignment only. I also provide a template that you can use to help you with the assignment.
