Summary
Once a local, state, or federal public health emergency (PHE) is declared or appears imminent, the Public Health Emergency Response Plan serves as a response framework for a transit agency. This plan will be used in conjunction with the COOP, EOP and any other agency specific emergency response standard operating procedures (SOPs) to provide comprehensive response planning. Transit agencies should consider determining the applicability of the various elements in this standard with regard to the requirements, plans and policies of their local health departments. Once the PHE Response Plan is prepared, the transit agency should provide it to the appropriate state and local agencies who have a need to know for coordination purposes.
