Final Project - EOP

For this final project, you are to prepare a Disaster/Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the state you currently reside. This plan cannot look like a disaster plan that already is established for that particular state. Feel free to use some components from the original emergency plan. However, be sure you explain your reasoning for keeping the component. You must develop a disaster plan you believe is effective and efficient for your state and how these emergency operations will help sustain your state overall. Think about this critically! Geographic location plays as major role in how often disasters may occur, and what type of operations will be used during an emergency situation. As we know, disaster/emergency plans do not all look the same. Therefore, your plans do not have to follow a specific format. However, it must be structured in a way that is feasible to follow and understand. 

Here is an example for the state of South Carolina (Links to an external site.), Emergency Operations Plan
