Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)

An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is a strategic framework that outlines how an organization or community will respond to various emergencies, such as natural disasters, medical emergencies, or security threats. It details the roles, responsibilities, and procedures for coordinating resources and communication during a crisis. The EOP ensures that everyone knows what to do to protect lives, property, and the environment. This plan typically includes training, drills, and guidelines for recovery efforts after an emergency, helping to minimize confusion and enhance effectiveness when time is critical.
