Emergency Management director outlines continuity planning, HazMat response and grant duties
Summary
Emergency Management Director Brandon Larson briefed the Vernon County Board on statutory program duties, continuity-plan updates, grant management, and HazMat call history; the presentation noted Vernon County lies in the southwest emergency-management region.
Emergency Management Director Brandon Larson told the Vernon County Board on May 21 that the county has updated its continuity plans and continues to manage federal and state emergency-management grants and public preparedness education.
Larson summarized the statutory requirements for the county program and the role of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). He described the department’s responsibilities for disaster recovery processes and provided budget numbers and call-history data for the county HazMat team. A displayed map placed Vernon County in the Wisconsin Emergency Management southwest region.
The presentation was delivered during the board’s regular meeting; Larson’s overview was framed as informational rather than a board action. The board did not take a formal vote on the presentation. The meeting minutes record the overview and display of regional mapping.
