The El Paso County Disaster Operations Plan
All jurisdictions are required under state law to have a plan which outlines general procedures to be used by government and support agencies to respond to a disaster or emergency.
The suggested procedures are built around a local agency’s ability to respond using a field management system called incident command. As the event gets larger and more complicated, the Emergency Operations Center comes into play.
The County Plan can be reviewed at the El Paso County Office of Emergency Management.
