Business Emergency Operations Center (BEOC) Issues and Solutions - NEW
IEMA's Issues and Solutions process provides an opportunity for stakeholders to view the comments, concerns, and suggestions of participants in workshops, conferences, working groups, or projects in an open format. Participant names and organizations are withheld to ensure the process is inclusive while maintaining a forum for open dialogue. The Issues and Solutions process has been developed as part of an inclusive advisory committee process that incorporates the knowledge and experience of government, private sector, volunteer, and non-governmental representatives. Stakeholder and participant input are critical to our collective ability to enhance existing programs and meet new challenges. To ensure consistency and provide a working continuum of project enhancement or discussion, IEMA will maintain all documentation. Comments or concerns about IEMA's Issues and Solutions should be directed to Mr. Darryl Dragoo at 217.561.0908 or Darryl.dragoo@illinois.gov.
Catastrophic Earthquake Annex
The Earthquake Annex outlines operational command, coordination, communication, and control for counties and responsible agencies/organizations following a catastrophic earthquake. It is used in conjunction with a jurisdiction's Emergency Operations Plan.
Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP)
Having a COOP ensures continuity of essential department or agency functions/services in spite of an emergency or disaster. The COOP is implemented when a building or facility is rendered inoperable for a period greater than 30 days, during which time services to public and private stakeholders must be continued.
Food and Water Distribution Plan
This document provides operational guidance and serves as a concept of operations for jurisdictions undertaking missions for the distribution of food and water to the public following a disaster where public facilities for potable water and/or food preparation and supply are inoperable or incapable of meeting the public's essential needs.
Illinois Emergency Management Agency Advisory Committee Newsletter Archive
In an ongoing effort to improve the overall preparedness level of Illinois' responders and residents, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency created this newsletter to focus on the essential elements of emergency management - prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
Resource Management
Resource management is the cornerstone of effective response and recovery. A comprehensive resource management system provides jurisdictions with a pre-identified structure for assigning resources and carrying out critical missions that support life safety and life essential services. These documents allow a jurisdiction to tailor a comprehensive resource management system based on capabilities, limitations, and purpose. It is recommended that the resource management tools be used in conjunction with IEMA's Joint Operational Planning course.
Standard Guide for Fatality Management in Illinois
Taking an all hazards approach, this document offers guidance on developing a fatality management annex that can be tailored to any fatality management incident. It is recommended that state and local government organizations use this guide as a standard when developing mortuary services and/or fatality management annexes to ensure statewide interoperability.
Strategic Operations of Emergency Management (IMS 500) Course Materials - NEW
Strategic Operations of Emergency Management provides executive and senior level local emergency management staff with practices designed to outline efficiencies and priorities prior to, during, and after disaster strikes. Strategic Operations of Emergency Management explores and expands on interlocking strategies for emergency operations centers and incident command structures; development and implementation of straight-line information pathways; lateral and vertical coupling of critical sectors and emergency response roles; analysis of critical and priority information requirements; determination of centers of gravity for objectives driven task assignment; execution of strategic priorities against defined resourcing elements; and the incorporation of deliberate decision and/or trigger points for strategic emergency management. Questions regarding IMS-500 should be directed to Mr. Darryl Dragoo at 217.561.0908 or Darryl.dragoo@illinois.gov.
