Emergency Management

Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) is the municipality’s effort to safeguard the performance of mission essential functions during a wide range of emergencies. The initiative ensures that city of Rocky Mount’s departments are able to continue their essential daily functions. COOP requires planning for any event – natural, human-caused, technological threats and national security emergency – causing an agency to relocate its operations to an alternate or other continuity site to assure continuance of its essential functions.

The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is the city of Rocky Mount’s disaster plan that ensures coordination of protection, prevention, mitigation, response, and recovery activities that increase the city’s capabilities to minimize loss of life and reduce impacts from disasters.
