Tab A, Suggested Format For A Terrorist Incident   Appendix To A Basic All Hazards Emergency Plan

FEMA recommends, but does not require, that the Terrorism appendix follow FEMA Basic Plan format: The Hazard, Situation And Assumptions, Concept Of Operations, etc.

Our EOP treats Terrorism as a specific hazard, according to SLG 101 guidance. Therefore, Annexes contain appendices for Terrorism. Terrorism appendices do not repeat the Basic Plan format, but are in checklist form with reference tables, so they can be used during EOC operations.
