EM 235 Emergency Planning Course

EM 235 Emergency Planning Course - Intermediate

The EM 235 Emergency Planning - Intermediate is the second course presenting a planning process that is applicable to all four phases of comprehensive emergency management.

Responsibility for alleviating suffering and damage resulting from natural disasters and other events that threaten communities rests with State and local governments. The elected leadership in each jurisdiction (i.e., town, city, county or parish, and State) is legally responsible for ensuring that necessary and appropriate actions are taken to protect people, property, and the environment from the consequences of emergencies that threaten their safety.

To ensure that necessary and appropriate actions are taken, by the proper personnel and at the proper time, requires a coordinated effort to develop an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that enables the jurisdiction to respond effectively and efficiently to an emergency event.

The purpose of this course is to provide members of a jurisdiction's planning team with basic information about key planning factors that affect its ability to respond and with tools to help them make the best decisions possible for each of those factors. This course does not provide every planning factor and every tool that can possibly be used in planning, but it does provide tools for planning factors that are crucial to every jurisdiction in the country.

This course was released in 1997. Some minor changes are made to the course. The course is orientated to the individual learner whereas the original course is delivered in a classroom setting.
