Oregon Department of Emergency Management : Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) : Plans and Assessments : State of Oregon

The State of Oregon Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) combines a number of documents into a single plan. In the plan, four mission areas of emergency management include Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. The mission areas include the core functions of emergency management at the state level, and more detail can be found in the sections below, each of which represents one volume of the CEMP.

Volume I – Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP)

The NHMP identifies natural hazards and vulnerabilities in Oregon, proposes a strategy to mitigate risk, and addresses recurring disasters and repetitive losses. The Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan is coordinated by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and the State Interagency Hazard Mitigation Team.

Volume II – State Preparedness Plan

This plan provides requirements and guidance for each step of the emergency preparedness cycle, including planning, organization, training, exercise, and evaluation and improvement.

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Volume II - Preparedness *Update in Progress
State Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) 2023 - 2026 v1.3 | 2025 Update As part of the Preparedness Plan, the IPP documents the planning, training, and exercise priorities in the State of Oregon for a multi-year period. It is the culmination of nine annual IPP Workshops with local, tribal, and state partners across the state.
National Incident Management System (NIMS): Training for emergency personnel in Oregon adopts a broad approach, encompassing training in ICS, NIMS, as well as function and hazard-specific training.

Volume III – Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)

Below, you can find information on the primary document for the response mission area - the state of Oregon Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The EOP consists of a plan body and a large number of components. The components of the state EOP include emergency support functions (ESFs), incident annexes, and support annexes. See below for links to files for each of these components. Each ESF is performed by a group of state agencies, with one or two as primary and several supporting. For detailed information, each ESF’s primary and supporting agencies are identified in the ESF Brief Descriptions Job Aid.

The state has established four Operational Status Levels, referred to as Status Levels, Each status level represents an increased need for situation awareness and coordination of state response activities and resources. This one-pager describes the situation when each level may be appropriate:
