Local Plans must be consistent with federal and state plans; be based on an analysis of the existing or potential hazards facing the jurisdiction; assign peacetime/attack emergency functions to government departments and nongovernment agencies; specify who is in charge of emergency operations; establish intergovernment relationships; establish procedures for requesting state or federal assistance; be approved by the local chief executive; be reviewed annually and updated as required; include programs for testing and exercising, training, informing the public about things that require public action and be formally accepted by the AEMA Director.

(a) As a minimum, the County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) must follow the format and philosophy of the AEMA All-Hazards Emergency Operations Plan (Prototype). The Basic Plan and supporting annexes must be integrated to address all hazards identified in the current county hazards analysis. Additionally, the plan must comply with applicable Federal Planning Guidance.

(b) A local emergency operations plan is considered current if it has been published, revised or reviewed and changed on an annual basis; it was prepared and approved using the criteria in CPG l-8A, as modified by the state; and it has been accepted by the AEMA director.

(c) RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN. This plan outlines the local response to incidents at nuclear power plants.

1. County Plans and Procedures: Each county affected by a fixed nuclear facility will include supplemental guidance in the County Emergency Operations Plan and establish implementing procedures that will assure the protection of the health and safety of residents within the Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ). These plans will be compatible with the basic plan for emergency response for incidents at fixed nuclear facilities. Local plans will be based on local and state plans, executive orders and agreements.
