North Charleston Emergency Operations Plan

[A]n all-hazard plan developed for use by city government to ensure a coordinated and effective response to natural and manmade disasters that may occur in the City of North Charleston. The plan is organized to correspond to the four phases of emergency management; mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The plan has three major parts, the Mayor’s Executive order which adopts and approves the plan and assigns responsibilities; the Basic Plan which outlines general policies and procedures that provide a common coordinated basis for joint operations and the functional annexes which outline the responsibilities of city departments within the framework of Emergency Support Functions (ESF’s). City departments use the NCEOP as a basis for developing implementing instructions, for training, preparing, marshaling and distributing resources and in providing services and assistance during disasters. – City of North Charleston
