Federal Interagency Operational Plans

The Response FIOP builds upon the National Response Framework, which sets the strategy and doctrine for how the whole community builds, sustains, and delivers the Response core capabilities identified in the National Preparedness Goal. Specifically, the Response FIOP is an all-hazards plan that describes how the Federal government coordinates capabilities and efforts to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs following an emergency or disaster.

The Protection FIOP describes the concept of operations for integrating and synchronizing existing national-level Federal capabilities to support local, state, tribal, territorial, insular area, and Federal plans. The Federal protection processes and guiding principles contained in this FIOP provide a structured and unifying approach that is flexible and adaptable to specific Protection mission requirements.

The Mitigation FIOP builds upon the National Mitigation Framework, which sets the strategy and doctrine for how the whole community builds, sustains, and delivers the Mitigation core capabilities identified in the National Preparedness Goal. The purpose of this FIOP is to establish a joint system for supporting local, state, tribal, territorial, and insular area partners and deliver public resources in a coordinated, effective, and proficient manner.

The Recovery FIOP is an all-hazards plan that provides guidance for the implementation of the National Disaster Recovery Framework. It describes how the Federal government delivers core capabilities for the Recovery mission area and provides the overarching interagency coordination structure for the recovery phases.
