Coordination 03
Coordination 03 : "The federal government, through FEMA, requires all states to have a comprehensive emergency operations plan to serve as a guide for all types of hazards that may occur in their area, including emergency evacuation events. This comprehensive plan would be built upon the emergency plans developed by the counties and cities within that state. Thus, the information should be fully coordinated among all agencies. Typically, this has involved a hierarchical structure to the development of emergency management plans at all levels. The local level, usually individual cities or counties, will lead the development of plans for emergency planning, response, and recovery operations within their immediate jurisdictions. Emergency management agencies at the next higher level, county and/or state, typically serve to coordinate all local-level emergency management activities, as well as assist with additional law enforcement and transportation system management".
