Title:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Operations Plan Approval
Summary
ACTION:
Approve the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)
Staff Contact: Derrick Ramos, Assistant County Manager/Chief of Staff
Presentation: Yes
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The attached revised Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) is the result of the collaborative efforts among the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, the Towns, non-profits, and private partners that have assigned emergency roles and responsibilities. This final base plan incorporates comments and suggestions received from a variety of stakeholders that provide critical support during times of disaster. An EOP is a document which outlines how the community will respond to an emergency. The EOP sets guidelines to manage a disaster in an effective, efficient, and timely manner. The EOP is not written as a standalone document but instead establishes the basis for more detailed planning and development of agency-specific plans and standard operating procedures by the individual agencies to support the execution of their assigned responsibilities. The approval process requires the EOP to be approved by the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners, the Mayor of Charlotte, and the Mayors of all the towns within Mecklenburg County. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management Office will provide an overview of the EOP and the revision process.
