L. 88-352) in that it was developed and actions described will be carried out without discrimination against anyone due to color, race, national origin, religion, sex, age, or handicap. This Plan meets the requirements of the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Prepared by the KEITH County Emergency Management Agency with the assistance of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, Lincoln, Nebraska 2017 KEITH COUNTY LEOP RECORD OF CHANGES CHANGE DATE OF DATE CHANGE MADE BY NUMBER CHANGE ENTERED (SIGNATURE) 2017 KEITH COUNTY LEOP KEITH COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN PREFACE This KEITH County Emergency Operations Plan establishes the standardized policies, plans, guidelines and procedures that will allow all our emergency resources, governmental and non-governmental, to collectively manage and coordinate the preparation, prevention, response, recovery and mitigation functions effectively and in a consistent manner, as a team, when disaster strikes. In content and in format, the Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) is consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and with the current nationwide concept embodied in the Integrated Emergency Management System (IEMS). This Plan provides for performing specific functions across the full spectrum of hazards. Most responsibilities, tasks and capabilities apply across a broad range of hazards. By treating them in this manner we show an integrated approach to disaster management. Unique aspects of certain hazards are addressed separately, where necessary. Therefore, this is truly a multi-hazard functional plan. The Plan is organized in a manner that enhances this functional approach by incorporating the following components: 1. Basic Plan: serves as an overview of the County's approach to emergency management, assigns responsibilities, and defines broad policies, plans, and procedures. 2. Annexes: twelve functional Annexes that address the task areas deemed critical to emergency response and recovery. 3. Appendices: these sections support various Annexes and generally address unique hazard specific requirements or actions. 4. Tabs: where necessary, procedures or guidelines for carrying out specific tasks defined in Annexes or Appendices are contained in Tabs. 5. Attachments: Other supporting information is attached where needed (maps, lists, checklists, etc.). i 2017 KEITH COUNTY LEOP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY County Basic Emergency Operations Plan Executive Summary Purpose: It is the responsibility of all elected/appointed officials to protect citizens’ lives and public and private property from the effects of hazards and disasters. This Plan describes the roles and responsibilities of the elected and appointed officials, state and federal agencies in support of the County’s efforts to prevent, prepare for, respond to, recover from and mitigate against hazards and disasters. Authority: The primary legislation directing the elected officials’ responsibilities and actions during an emergency or disaster and for establishing a local emergency management agency is: RRS Sections 81-829.36 to 81-829.75, Nebraska Emergency Management Act of 1996, as amended, Cum. Supp. 2002. County, tribal, city and village officials accept this LEOP plan by resolution; generally the County has the primary responsibilities of implementation. Scope: Implementation of this all-hazards plan will reduce or prevent the loss of life, damage to property and aid in the community economic and infrastructure recovery. Officials within the County are aware of the possibilities of an emergency or disaster and of their responsibilities in the execution of this Plan and will fulfill those responsibilities as needed. All responding elected and appointed officials, departments, agencies and jurisdictions will follow the National Incident Management System (NIMS) protocols when conducting either individual or joint disaster response and recovery activities. Concept of Operations: The responsibility for the safety and welfare of the communities rests with the respective governments. The chief elected officials of the local governments must individually, and where possible jointly, provide policy, leadership, strategic guidance for the emergency management agency, provide resources during emergency preparedness, response, recovery activities, give trained responders the authority to accomplish the incident objectives. The Emergency Manager (EM) will establish and implement programs to enhance the communities’ awareness of, and capabilities to prevent, protect, respond, recover and mitigate disasters. During a disaster the EM will act as an operations manager/advisor/resource to local governments. Local forces, supplemented by trained auxiliaries and personnel and resources available from neighboring jurisdictions or the State, will conduct emergency operations. First responders will provide the Incident Command to address life safety, stabilize the incident and conserve property. This Plan, approved by the elected officials, has twelve primary functional areas of responsibility (see Annexes) that define the additional roles, responsibilities and tasks necessary to ensure public safety and welfare. This Plan is developed and tested by a rigorous training and exercise program. ii 2017 KEITH COUNTY LEOP SIGNATURE PAGE We, the undersigned, have reviewed the Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) for KEITH County.
