EMERGENCY PLAN
The basic plan is vital in the provision of an extended overview of the jurisdictions
approach towards emergency operations. Thus it outlines the emergency policies on responses
and assigning of duties to be carried out. The basic plan consists of components such as the cover
page which has the date and outlines the jurisdiction by the plan, the promulgation document
which declares the plan officially, the implementation and approval page which introduces it and
is signed by seniors i.e., commissioners, record of changes for updating, the record of
distribution kept in the format of a table and the table of contents which is ordered logically for
identification of the layout of the plan sections (Zilversmit et al., 2014).
The state and federal planning processes consider operational response such as public
notification, evacuation and warning thus outline the fulfillment of its mission objective by the
provision of resources for the fulfillment needs to be satisfied. The local plan and its connection
to the state and federal planning processes in that the coexistence between them facilitate the
required collaboration before the emergency operation, during and the aftermath of the
operations. The relationship results in integrated plans which clearly outline roles and duties at
all the respective levels thus leading to other various successful operations
Functional indexes are the individual sects in emergency operations which emphasize key
processes such as the continuity of operations. These annexes focus on vital functions of the
operations and the action on course to be developed for the function to be carried out while
support annexes give details on how the state, federal and local entries coordinate in the
fulfillment of the functional processes (Kwak, Rheem & Choi, 2016 ). Hazards include all types
of damages, under hazard, the all-hazard approach involves the preparations for countering the
emergencies such as terrorist attacks. The threat is referred to as the indication of an upcoming
damage which may result to a loss while incident specific annexes are annexes which
demonstrate on the concept and policies of operations and the duties relevant to the type of
