COVEOP
2012 Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan
The Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP) provides the coordinating structures, processes, and mechanisms in a collective framework for the coordination of state support to impacted local governments and affected individuals and businesses. It is compatible with the National Response Framework and provides the structure for coordinating with the federal government in the delivery of federal disaster assistance. The COVEOP assists in the Commonwealth Preparedness mission by improving our capability to respond to and recover from natural and human-caused disasters.
