FOREWORD
While no plan can replace the common sense and good judgment of emergency
response personnel, department heads, and other decision makers, this Emergency
Operations Plan (EOP) does provide a framework to guide Jackson County's efforts to
Prepare for, Mitigate against, Respond to and Recover from major emergencies or
disasters.
This plan describes the roles and responsibilities of the departments and certain other
agencies, during major emergencies or disasters. The plan sets forth a strategy and
operating guidelines using the National Incident Management System's (NIMS) Incident
Command System (ICS) adopted by Jackson County for managing its response and
recovery activities during emergencies and disasters. It is the intent of Jackson County
to integrate all emergency response systems into a program for comprehensive
emergency management.
While the Emergency Management Program Coordinator (EMPC) is primarily
responsible for the County's emergency response and recovery plans, this plan was
developed with the assistance of the County's Emergency Management Advisory
Committee (EMAC) and help from various other agencies and individuals in Jackson
County. The County's approach to emergency planning is that such planning is a
continuous process. The Emergency Management Program Coordinator will continue
to coordinate planning needs for the plan by continuing the involvement of the EMAC
and those other individuals and agencies that have responsibilities and interests in
these plans.
The County's EOP consists of various sections and supporting materials. The
development and maintenance of this plan is the basis of the County's Emergency
Management Program.
Basic Plan -Provides an overview of the County's emergency organization and
policies. It cites the legal authority for emergency operations, summarizes the
situations addressed by the EOP, explains the general concept of operations,
and assigns general responsibilities for the phases of emergency management.
ESF Annexes -Each Emergency Support Function annex focuses on one of the
critical emergency functions the County will perform. The type and scope of an
incident will dictate which ESF will be needed. Since ESF annexes are to be
used in conjunction with the Basic Plan, they should not repeat information that is
already addressed.
Appendixes -These add diagrams, definitions, or other supportive information to
an Annex. They can be as simple as a one-page drawing to as detailed as a
many-page protocol for doing part of the tasking mentioned in an Annex.
