  • The development framework for EOPs follows an "all-hazard approach".

    • Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive EOPs, encompassing basic plans, functional annexes, hazard-specific appendices, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), are essential for effective emergency response.
    • The "all-hazard approach" ensures EOPs are versatile and applicable to a wide range of potential emergencies.
