City of Los Angeles Base Emergency Operations Plan 2023
The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the City of Los Angeles outlines the City’s response framework for all hazards. It serves as the foundation for emergency response within the City of Los Angeles and delineates coordination before, during, and after an event occurs.
This plan delineates the functions, structure, stakeholders, activities, personnel, resources, capabilities, mutual aid processes, and goals of the City of Los Angeles during an emergency or disastrous event.
The concepts presented in the EOP emphasize response operations. Response embodies the actions taken in the immediate aftermath of an incident to save and sustain lives, meet basic human needs, and reduce the loss of property and the effect on critical infrastructure and the environment. Following an incident, response operations reduce the physical, psychological, social, and economic effects of an incident.
The EOP is a document intended to be read and understood before an emergency occurs. It is designed to outline the activities of all City of Los Angeles departments and partner agencies within a Citywide emergency management system and it embraces the capabilities and resources in the broader emergency management community that includes individuals, businesses, non governmental organizations, tribal governments, other cities, counties, states, national, and international assistance.
