Development or Enhancement of Emergency Operations
Plans
The All Hands project approach for the development
or enhancement of an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is a
comprehensive effort, which includes eleven discrete items.
These services may be provided sequentially, concurrently
or separately based on client requirements. Training related
to the development or enhancement of emergency operations
and strategic plans, is also provided. In addition, we can
conduct workshops or other training for local governments
related to the development or enhancement of emergency operations
and strategic plans.
Work Products
1. Conduct a comprehensive Hazard Vulnerability Assessment
(HVA). The HVA will:
a. Identify, categorize and subdivide the variety of hazards
that influence the comprehensive emergency planning process.
b. Be built on actual threats and capabilities rather than
speculation.
c. Identify capabilities, shortfalls, and recommendations
for improvement.
2. Develop a comprehensive Mitigation Plan and Local Mitigation
Strategy (LMS). This effort will include:
a. Survey of Mitigation Projects and Initiatives
b. Identification of Hazards.
c. Develop Local Mitigation Strategy
3. Develop a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)
or Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).Working for and in close
coordination with the Emergency Management Coordinator, we
will provide administrative, research, planning, and publishing
services to include, but not limited to:
a. Review of the existing CEMP, EOP and other related documents.
b. Determine and recommend additional operational components
and schedule of emergency function annexes, or emergency
support functions (ESFs).
c. Develop emergency function operational component matrix.
d. Identify and interview key personnel.
e. Revise and reformat CEMP or EOP annexes.
f. Revise the Basic Plan.
g. Disseminate draft of plan, receive comment, and revise
accordingly.
h. Produce final draft.
i. Recommend future work products.
j. Assist the Emergency Management Coordinator with presenting
completed plan to local officials for approval
4. Develop an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) organization,
EOC manual, and staff action guides for each position.
a. Develop the EOC Organization, EOC Manual, and Staff
Action Guides for each EOC Position using the Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) organization as contained in the
CEMP Basic Plan:
b. Establish EOC operating procedures.
c. Develop staff action guides (SOPs) for each EOC staff
position.
5. Develop a Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity
of Government (COG) program.
a. Review existing plans, orders of succession
b. Conduct Risk Assessment
c. Conduct High-level Business Impact Analysis (Define business
requirements determine RPO & RTO)
d. Conduct Technology Assessment
e. Conduct Business Strategy Review
f. Draft the Continuity Plan (to include technology map,
IT Plan, business requirements, and linkage to business
areas)
g. Develop COOP/COG Plan
h. Present the COOP Plan and Determine Next Steps
6. Design an outline for agency response Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs). Agencies fill in their specific tasks for
each responsibility found in the CEMP.
a. Encourage departments, agencies, and organizations
to write Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
b. Develop a complete listing of all departments, agencies,
organizations who have identified responsibilities in the
basic plan and emergency support functions.
c. Include a sub listing of the responsibilities for each
organization.
d. Develop a format for SOPs.
e. Provide each organization with their lists of responsibilities.
7. Review Basic Plan.
a. Determine what other functions require SOPs, such as
EOC, Emergency Information, Emergency Finance, etc.
b. Ask each organization to develop a SOP/checklist for
each responsibility. (e.g., a list of action steps to be
performed to ensure that the responsibility, if called upon,
is carried out.)
8. Develop Field Operating Guides (FOGs) for disaster responders
based on the Incident Command System (ICS), "pocket guides"
will be produced for each type of disaster responder (based
on CEMP emergency function schedule).
9. Perform Emergency Management Program Review
a. Using the nationally accepted Capability Assessment
for Readiness (CAR) guidelines, complete an emergency management
program review. Results are used for strategic planning.
b. Work with the Emergency Management Coordinator to develop
a program profile to identify the current status of the
program.
c. Produce a report which will identify program areas needing
immediate (first year) development, updating, or improvement,
and those elements to be accomplished during the second
year, and so on.
10. Develop a three-year Strategic Plan
a. Evaluate current status of the local program to include
hazard/risk assessment, capability assessment, current trends
and conditions.
b. Establish a "blueprint" for a comprehensive
emergency management based on local/state needs.
c. Develop strategies for local/state/ performance partnerships.
d. Develop a one to five year work plan to improve emergency
management (based on a self evaluation questionnaire). Accomplish
goal setting and management by objectives; Implement multi-year
strategic/work planning.
e. Document progress, measure performance yearly (or by
month/quarter).
11. Train Emergency Management staff on all above work elements.
a. Work closely with Emergency Management staff.
b. Provide training and information on all work elements.
