Commissioners approve county Emergency Operations Plan for state submission
Summary
The commission accepted the county Emergency Operations Plan, approved its promulgation, and authorized signing the proclamation for submission to the Kansas Department of Emergency Management; commissioners noted the plan is a living document that can be updated via CAS Planner.
County staff presented the updated Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), noting the state (KDEM) approved the plan in January. Commissioners praised the collaborative work across emergency support functions and emphasized the plan is a living document that Ottawa County may modify through CAS Planner when operational changes are needed.
A motion to approve the proclamation and finalize the EOP for submittal to the Kansas Department of Emergency Management passed by voice vote. The clerk will retain a printed copy in county files and staff will publish the final version online in CAS Planner. Commissioners clarified that the plan's approval by KDEM does not remove the county's authority to adapt the plan to local needs.
Next steps: clerk to file the signed proclamation and post the final plan; Dwayne (risk management contact for the commission) will be the point of contact for future updates.
