SHELBY COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN

Prepared By: EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ASSIST, INC. UNDER CONTRACT WITH SHELBY COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IN COORDINATION WITH THE PREPAREDNESS DIVISION OF THE ALABAMA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (April 30, 2004)

This is the link to enter Shelby County's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).   Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) to the EOP are functional and expand upon the concept of operations contained in the basic plan. Annexes provide specific responses for agencies of government and define their responsibilities.
The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) required for the implementation of the County EOP are not included because of the voluminous nature of the SOPs. SOPs are the detailed operating procedures of departments and agencies and are maintained by those departments and agencies.  An annual review of the EOP will be undertaken by the Emergency Management (EM) Director and those agencies, departments, county, and city governments having emergency assignments.  The EM Director will insure that a list of all plan holders is maintained at the EM Office and that
updates are sent to each one of these individuals.  This plan requires fair and equal treatment to all regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap. The county will conduct all response and recovery operations using the Incident Command System. The Integrated Emergency Management System is the cornerstone of the County’s
emergency and disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation program.   This includes both governmental and non-governmental organizations that have a role in saving lives, caring for the injured, recovering the dead, mitigating property loss, and restoring services and facilities.
This plan, including updates, remains in effect from the time it was adopted until modified by executive order.
