General – This section should contain general information about the tasks that need to be completed to ensure an effective response. Complete this section with jurisdictional specific information.

Hazard Control and Assessment - Describe, in general, the capabilities and processes the jurisdiction has in place to identify, analyze, gain control of, and monitor those hazards specific to your planning topic. You will need to add context to the five elements by describing your specific jurisdiction. This information will be developed based on your research of your community.

Protective Action Selection - Describe, in general, the capabilities and processes the jurisdiction has in place to select protective action strategies and actions. You will add details specific to your community/facility to describe how the four listed activities will be achieved.

Public Warning - describe the capabilities and processes your jurisdiction has in place to disseminate public warning messages to the public. This information is determined through your research to find out how your community/facility provides public warnings.

You will use the seven provided actions and describe how your jurisdiction will accomplish those actions.

Short-Term Needs - This section should describe, in general, the capabilities and processes the jurisdiction has in place to address the short-term needs of the population once the population has been protected from the hazard. You will use the five provided activates and describe how they will be accomplished in your jurisdiction.

Long Term Needs - This section should describe, in general, the capabilities and processes the jurisdiction has in place to restore the jurisdiction and its affected population to a “normal” state. You will apply your hazard scenario to this section and describe what would be needed to allow people back to their homes (re-entry) and what would be needed in general if a recovery period is needed such as due to damaged critical infrastructure.
