Flooding Emergency Action Plan: A Developmental Guide for Camps, Campgrounds and RV Parks
Who it’s for: Camp, campground, and RV park owners and managers — along with the local floodplain managers and emergency managers who support them.
What it is: A practical, step-by-step guide for building a strong Emergency Action Plan (EAP) from the ground up. The guide walks you through every component of an effective EAP: understanding your flood risk, assigning clear roles and responsibilities, choosing the right combination of detection and alert systems, setting specific triggers and expected actions, and keeping your plan current through regular review and exercises.
How to use it: Work through the guide’s five components in order, using the included scenarios, sample language, and “weak example/strong example” comparisons to draft your own plan. Whether you’re building an EAP for the first time or strengthening an existing one, this guide is designed to help you create a plan your camp can rely on when it matters most. Also reference the guidance for developing a floodplain ordinance.
This resource was developed by the Association of State Floodplain Managers.
