Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security – Ramsey County, MN Emergency Operations Plan Revision Tidal Basin assisted with the development of a revision to Ramsey County’s County- Wide Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and annexes to assess their response to the COVID-19 pandemic and update their emergency plans. These updates reflect lessons learned during the pandemic and recommendations from the County’s COVID-19 After- Action Report and Improvement Plan (AAR/IP), also developed by Tidal Basin. To prepare for this update, the Tidal Basin team reviewed the 2017 EOP, the COVID-19 AAR/IP, and other emergency management doctrine, guidance, policies, and procedures. We developed a crosswalk and gap analysis that complied with the State of Minnesota crosswalk requirements (MNWALK), assessing the existing EOP and annexes against the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101 v3, National Planning Frameworks, the National Incident Management System (NIMS), Incident Command System (ICS), the State EOP, Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Titles II, III, and IV, and the EMHS’s Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA). The resulting survivor-centric plan encompasses community resilience principles and community lifeline principles and maintains the current Common Response Doctrine. Deliverables to Ramsey County included: • C rosswalk/Gap Analysis assessing the existing plan, other emergency management plans, policies and procedures, doctrine, and AARs to industry standards • P lanning meeting to engage with stakeholders, create the vision, and discuss the major components for updating the EOP • R amsey County CEOP (Base Plan) and Functional Annexes • Incident Management Team (IMT) Job Aids • A living document Resource Manual
“
The planning team was top-notch and brought their broad range of expertise and understanding of emergency management to all facets of the project. Ramsey County is now better positioned in understanding where the County can enhance its overall resilience due to the lessons learned and efforts made by the Tidal Basin team.”
Municipality of Anchorage – Anchorage, AK Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan
Tidal Basin developed an updated all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) to serve as a blueprint for the management of natural, technological, and human-caused emergencies. We developed a crosswalk and gap analysis, assessing the MOA’s existing EOP and annexes against the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101 v3, National Planning Frameworks, the National Incident Management System (NIMS), Incident Command System (ICS), Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) requirements, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Titles II, III, and IV, and the MOA’s Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA). Leveraging the information gained from the gap analysis and feedback from the planning team to correct and close the gaps, we updated the MOA’s current plan along with 11 functional annexes and 11 hazard appendices. The updated EOP is an all- hazards, all-threats plan that incorporates perspectives and contributions of the Whole Community, including people with disabilities and access and functional needs (DAFN), that reflects what the MOA will do to address its specific risks with the resources they have or can obtain.
