Emergency Operations Plan Annex

Overview:

Using the FEMA Emergency Operations Plan Annex template as a guide, create a Purpose,

Scope, Situation, and Assumptions for an identified annex. The student will base this annex

on a local jurisdiction. The template provides guidance language to help the student

understand what information should be provided. This guidance language should be

deleted prior to the student submitting the assignment.

The student will choose to develop either a functional annex, an incident/threat-specific

annex, or a support annex. Functional annexes can cover issues such as direction and

control, continuity of government/operations, communications, warning, emergency public

information, evacuation, mass care, health and medical, or resource management.

Incident/Threat-specific annexes describe the policies, situation, concept of operations, and

responsibilities for particular hazards or incident types. Support annexes describe the

framework through which a jurisdiction’s departments and agencies, the private sector, notfor-profit, and volunteer organizations, and other nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)

coordinate and execute the common emergency management strategies.
