Answer 1

Answer: Option A. provide a uniform response to all hazards that a community may face.

Explanation:

An Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is an all-hazard plan document which outlines how a facility will respond to an emergency. It is activated on an as-needed basis and includes guidelines to manage a disaster in an effective, efficient, and timely manner.

Emergency operations plans are used by different groups such as hospitals, states, and universities. It is used to ensure a coordinated and effective response to natural, technological, or man-made disasters that may occur in a community. The plan is developed to correspond to the four phases of emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
