County signs onto EMPG participation; plans CrisisTrack training for PDAs

Codington County Board of Commissioners · August 26, 2026

Summary

Emergency management told commissioners the EMPG agreement now requires an annual LEOP review and roster of participants; staff recommended participating in CrisisTrack preliminary-damage-assessment training and the board approved participation.

Andrew Delgado reviewed the updated EMPG (Local Emergency Management Performance Grant) participation agreement and said it introduces a requirement for an annual Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) review that must include stakeholders and the county commission. Delgado also recommended county participation in CrisisTrack preliminary damage-assessment software training to improve accuracy and real-time reporting during incidents.

Delgado said CrisisTrack is the state's preferred tool for PDAs going forward, and that the county either must host a course or partner with neighbors. Commissioners moved to approve county participation in EMPG-related activities and the CrisisTrack training.
