Johnson County Emergency Management & Homeland Security
Planning Templates
Johnson County Emergency Management & Homeland Security, in response to repeated requests from citizens, businesses, educational institutions and other entities has compiled disaster-planning templates that our office has reviewed extensively. These templates provide the basics of disaster plans for the home, workplace, school, childcare centers and elder care facilities. When developing any type of plan, our office recommends using an “all hazards” planning approach. Plan for the worse case scenario and if an incident occurs, you can scale down or up your response and recovery efforts.
These templates are meant to provide a starting point for individuals and organizations that are interested in developing a disaster response & recovery plan and/or a business continuity plan. As a starting point, we encourage all who download the templates to analyze their organizations carefully to adapt any or all parts to your planning needs. Please call our office if you have any questions while you are developing your plan. You may download these documents below or call our office at 913-782-3038 to request that a copy be mailed to you.
