This tribal EOP will be a template for each individual tribe to further tailor to their specific needs. • Phase II • Tribal EOP presentations to each tribe. • These meetings will serve to present the tribal EOP template, edit it to individual needs, and assess NIMS compliance status. • Phase III • Training and Exercise Plans • Tabletop and/or Functional exercises to test capabilities. • Phase IV • Follow up • Status of Improvement Plan. • NIMSCAST completion.
