Discussion 1

As part of your Unit 2 assignment, you identified the basic components of an emergency operations plan (EOP). While EOPs generally follow the format provided by FEMA, which includes a base plan, annexes, and hazard-specific guidance, the plans will vary based on geographical threats and whether the planning team decided to organize the plan using the 8 Core Functional Annexes or the 15 Emergency Support Function Annexes. Your reading this week from FEMA, Developing and Maintaining Emergency Plans, will provide you an understanding of the different approaches to planning.

This discussion will focus on the various approaches in the development of an EOP and considerations that go into developing an EOP. Select one of the emergency plans linked in Resources and address the questions included in the instructions.

This discussion will involve the completion of the first step of a threat and hazard identification and risk assessment (THIRA) by developing threat and hazard description statements.
