FOREWORD This document establishes the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for Provo City, Utah. This plan conforms to standards established by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and provides the basis for a systematic approach to the solution of problems created by the threat or occurrence of any type of emergency situation. The EOP identifies the responsibilities, functions, operational procedures, and working relationship among the various City departments, outside governmental entities, and private support groups. The EOP is divided into seven major sections: Basic Plan, Pandemic Influenza Response Plan, Departmental Annexes, Administrative Annexes, Operational Annexes, Business and Industry Annexes, and Specific Event Annexes. The following is an explanation of these sections: Basic Plan. The Basic Plan is an overview of Provo City’s approach to emergency management. It establishes the foundation for the City’s efforts in mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery in order to cope with an emergency situation. The plan cites the legal authority for emergency management, summarizes the City’s current situation, explains the general concept of operations, and assigns general responsibilities for emergency operations related to emergency situations. Pandemic Influenza Response Plan. This plan describes the roles and responsibilities of City departments in a local response to an influenza pandemic including: disease surveillance, the dispensing of vaccines and antiviral medication, and communications activities. Departmental Annexes. The Departmental Annexes provide specific information concerning the organization and response activities of individual City departments. These Annexes include the emergency operations plans of each department in a format that is similar to the City’s Basic Plan. Administrative Annexes. The Administrative Annexes provide information used in the mitigation, preparation, and recovery phases of emergency management. They include the structure and organization of the City, equipment inventory, risk assessments, training schedule, and governmental contact information. Operational Annexes. The Operational Annexes provide information that may be used during the response phase of emergency management. This information includes procedures, forms, emergency contact information, and maps. Business and Industry Annexes. These Annexes contain information about the emergency plans of businesses and industrial companies located in the City.
