An important feature of emergency operation plans is that they are Flexible

An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is a document that outlines the procedures and responsibilities for responding to an emergency.   An important feature of emergency operation plans is that they should be able to be adapted to the specific needs of the organization or community that they serve.  One of the most important aspects of an EOP is the identification of who has overall responsibility for managing the on scene incident.

It is an important tool for ensuring that everyone knows what to do in the event of a disaster, and that resources are used effectively.  MissionCIT prepares EOPs for public sector agencies and large industrial organizations including Oil & Gas, complex manufacturing and process industries.
