CITY'S EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
The City of Manassas Park has an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the management of major emergencies and disasters within the city. It identifies how the City will respond to and recover from a major incident and is triggered when it becomes necessary to mobilize resources to save lives and protect property and infrastructure. The Plan is in compliance with National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Emergency Management Accreditation System standards.
Successful implementation of the Plan is contingent upon a collaborative approach with a wide range of partner agencies and organizations, at the local, state and federal levels, that provide crucial support during emergency operations.
