Assessment Descriptionfor This Assignment You Will Complete The Basic
For this assignment, you will complete the Basic Plan Introduction, which is a preface for the basic Emergency Operations Plan and includes certain items that enhance accountability and ease of use. Include the following typical introductory pieces in your introduction: 1. Cover Page 2. Promulgation Page (words) 3. Approval and Implementation (words) 4. Record of Changes 5. Record of Distribution (words) 6. Table of Contents.
Cover Page: Create a cover page including the title of the plan (Basic Emergency Operations Plan). For this assignment, it should include your name, EMM-685 course, instructor name, date, and the Yourtown facility selected in the plan.
Promulgation Document and Signatures: The promulgation portion officially announces/declares your plan and gives it authorized status. Detail the responsibilities of those likely tasked with preparing and maintaining your selected organizational procedures/guidelines. Also, specify who would commit your organization to carrying out the training, exercises, and plan maintenance needed to support the plan. Ensure the promulgation document (words) is written so that senior officials can affirm their support for emergency management. The senior official in this assignment will be the instructor.
Approval and Implementation: This page introduces the plan, outlining its applicability, and indicates that it supersedes all previous plans. It should include a delegation of authority for specific modifications that can be made to the plan and by whom they can be made without the senior official’s signature. It should also include a date and be signed by the senior officials (the instructor in this case).
Record of Changes: Each update or change to the plan should be tracked in a table format, including at least a change number, date of change, the individual making the change, and a summary of the change. Additional relevant information can be included.
Record of Distribution: This table will indicate the title and name of the recipient (e.g., instructor), the facility, the date of delivery, and the number of copies delivered. Sending copies to key personnel ensures acknowledgment of review and acceptance. Copies of the plan should be available to the public and media without sensitive operational procedures.
After this table, include a brief rationale explaining the selection of primary recipients or stakeholders and why their inclusion is ethical, equitable, and just. While not typically part of an EOP, this demonstrates awareness of the involved stakeholders.
Table of Contents: Organize and identify major sections and subsections of the plan in a logical order, using the FEMA basic/traditional format table matching the assignment list. This helps in locating information quickly within the plan.
