Household Emergency Operations Plan

The Household Emergency Operations Plan (HEOP) is a thorough all-hazard emergency plan designed to prepare your household for disasters and emergencies. Created with families, couples, and even individuals in mind, this plan includes every member of your family, including pets! The HEOP is more detailed than typical family emergency plans, ensuring that you are well-prepared with a solid strategy when needed. Like any emergency plan, it can be customized to meet YOUR family's specific needs. Below are the sections included in the HEOP.
