This section provides tools and resources to assist local units of government in preparing for and responding to disasters. Additional resources will be added to this page periodically, so you are encouraged to check back.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
