Emergency Operations Plan

The Cuyahoga County OEM Administrator is responsible for the coordination of emergency management activity. Every municipality should have its own Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), which will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Each jurisdiction’s EOP should follow the guidelines set forth by FEMA in the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101: Developing and Maintaining State, Territorial, Tribal and Local Government Emergency Plans.

Most emergency situations are handled locally; however, when there is a major incident, help may be needed from other jurisdictions, the state and federal government (FEMA).
