For mitigation, planning and response of disasters emergency managers rely heavily on communication. Communication is a major part of existence, people are a part of societies and groups and therefore do not live by isolation. Communication comes in many forms and is used to spread information or ideals among the other members of societies. Emergency managers rely on communication in order to efficiently and effectively manage disasters. By using strong communication with other agencies, governments and communities, emergency managers are able to effectively create and act upon policies and procedures. Communication helps emergency managers understand what it is that needs to be improved upon or changed in order to effectively protect against

Planning committees and emergency managers often develop elaborate emergency operations plans, but fail to implement these plans through training and exercise to check its effectiveness. Simply put, many emergency operations plan are written but once they are written, they sit on the shelf until it is too late to exercise or train on the components listed in the plan. Once strength the GEOP has is that the exercise coordinators frequently conduct full-scale statewide exercises, Rehearsal of Concept Drills, and smaller scale, process specific drills to evaluate the components within the plan and its supporting documents (2015). Additionally, the GEOP is like a living document that is revisable at anytime to ensure that it maintains its effectiveness and best practices by incorporating lessons learned from exercises, and actual disasters and events (2015). The plan also provides detailed courses of action for guidance that is easily understood and actionable through concepts and operations, situation overview, and organization and assignment of responsibilities. Most importantly, the plan focuses on the functional needs of the whole community, and places emphasis on ensuring that there is positive engagement between the emergency management community and vulnerable populations through community outreach

Any disaster or event leaves questions in its wake. Who, what, where, when, and why? Preparing a plan with these questions in mind makes answering them when the time calls for it that much easier. An emergency response plan is prepared to react and correct to a wide spectrum of what makes a disaster, but it cannot do this effectively without buy-in from those who can best do the work to answer the definitive questions. Responding to an emergency means working together. By that end, cooperation is the most important aspect of the United States emergency management system in Preparing for, mitigating, and responding to man-made and natural disasters because it makes information sharing, specialization, and proper resource allocation
