Training
Equipment—safety, decon, treatment
Resources—local, state, and Federal
Capabilities and weaknesses of agencies
Ops 12-4
Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP)
United States Fire Administration
Required for haz mat incidents: OSHA
1910.120
Documents site safety:
– Zone locations
– Nature of hazard
– Type of PPE
– Type of decontamination procedures
Ops 12-5
Community EOP
United States Fire Administration
Assigns responsibility to organizations

Sets forth lines of authority and
organizational relationships
Describes how people and property will

Ops 12-6
State EOPs
United States Fire Administration
State EOPs assist local jurisdictions
States respond to emergencies
States work with Federal government
State EOP is framework guiding Federal
assistance
Ops 12-7
National Response Plan (NRP)
United States Fire Administration
HSPD-5 caused the
Ops 12-8
creation of a National
Response Plan (NRP)
Integrates Federal
Government domestic
prevention, preparedness,
response, and recovery
plans into one alldiscipline, all-hazards
plan
Provides the interface for
working with the private
sector
Replaces the Federal
Response Plan
Coordinates other
Federal plans
Crisis and consequence
management actions are
consolidated under the
NRP
The NRP utilizes NIMS in
response to domestic
incidents
National Response Plan (NRP)(Cont’d)
United States Fire Administration
Implemented when state’s resources
cannot cope
Is the Federal plan for response to
domestic terrorism
Details assistance available from Federal
government
Describes organizational structure for

Terrorism Incident Law Enforcement
and Investigation Annex
United States Fire Administration
Purpose
– To facilitate an effective Federal law enforcement and
investigative response to all threats or acts of terrorism
within the United States.
Policies
– To ensure applicable Presidential directives are
implemented in a coordinated manner, particularly those
involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD), or
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or highexplosive (CBRNE) material.
According to HSPD-5:
Ops 12-11
– “The Attorney General (generally acting through the
Federal Bureau of Investigation) has lead responsibility
for criminal investigations of terrorist acts or terrorist
threats …”
Terrorism Incident Law Enforcement and
Investigation Annex:
Concept of Operations - The Response
United States Fire Administration
Prior to an actual WMD or CBRNE incident, law
enforcement, intelligence, and investigative
activities generally have priority.
When an incident results in the use of WMD or
CBRNE material, rescue and life-safety activities
generally have priority.
Activities may overlap and/or run concurrently
Ops 12-12
during the incident management, and are
dependent on the threat and/or the strategies
for responding to the incident.
Terrorism Incident Law Enforcement and
Investigation Annex:
Concept of Operations - Command & Control
United States Fire Administration
FBI personnel can be expected to integrate into the
Unified Command organization in the following
manner:
– First FBI Special Agent (SA) or Joint Terrorism Task
Force (JTTF) member receives initial briefing from the
Incident Commander - works closely with the Incident
Commander as a member of the Unified Command
– When relieved by more senior FBI SA, the first arriving
SA or JTTF member moves to the Operations Section
as the Deputy Operations Section Chief
Ops 12-13
– An FBI SA assumes the position of Deputy Planning
Section Chief

Investigative and intelligence activities are
managed by the FBI from an FBI command post
or Joint Operations Center (JOC).
Intelligence Function
– Manages the collection, analysis, archiving, and
dissemination of relevant and valid investigative
and strategic intelligence.
Ops 12-14
– Fuses historical intelligence from a variety of
sources with new intelligence specific to the
threat, critical incident, or special event.
Terrorism Incident Law Enforcement and
Investigation Annex:
Concept of Operations - Joint Operations Center
United States Fire Administration
An interagency command and control center for
managing multi-agency law enforcement
activities
Similar to the Area Command concept within the
ICS
The JOC is modular and scaleable and may be

tailored to meet the specific operational
requirements needed to manage the threat,
incident, or special event
