Community Goal
Our goal is to create an “All Hazards” plan—an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that will allow our managers to perform their duties with confidence and efficiency.
This exercise will help guide our responders and managers and will provide us, the authors of the “New EOP,” a means to create a document that is useful for all types of events and for all departments or agencies involved.

City of Ketchikan Objective
To exercise evacuation policies and procedures
To test mutual aid agreements
To simulate an actual Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activation that will include a training session
To exercise large-scale incident management procedures
To assist any associated agency for the duration for the exercise
This will help us in the completion of the “re-write of the emergency operations plan.”
