County adopts updated Emergency Operations Plan

Big Horn County Commissioners · August 27, 2026

Summary

Big Horn County commissioners approved a revised Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), described as an updated final draft reflecting current statutes and county needs; officials will gather partner signatures to finalize the plan.

The Big Horn County Commission approved a final draft of the county Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) during the Aug. 27 meeting. Staff and a commission member described the plan as an updated version that incorporates statutory checks and county changes.

A committee member called it "the final draft emergency operations plan" and asked the commission for approval. After a motion and second the board approved the plan by voice vote. Staff said signatures from partner entities, including the mayor and fire authorities and school representatives, would be collected following approval.

Commissioners noted the county's EOP had not been approved since earlier versions and that the update brings the document back on track for current requirements; staff will proceed to collect required signatures and to integrate the state Local Disaster Guide as an annex if appropriate.
