Adult care facilities need to be proactive before a
disaster and should have emergency and disaster preparedness policies
and procedures in place.
Johnson County Emergency Management and Homeland
Security (JCEMHS) has compiled resources on this site to assist adult
care facilities in developing and/or updating their emergency plans
and procedures. Facilities are encouraged to contact Johnson
County Emergency Management if they have any questions regarding the
emergency response system in Johnson County.
While adult care facilities are responsible for
developing their emergency plans and procedures, per the Johnson
County Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP), Johnson County Med-Act is
responsible for coordinating medical emergencies in Johnson County.
In preparation for emergencies and/or disasters, Johnson County
Med-Act
meets with adult care facilities on a regular basis to exchange updated contact
information and perform/update facility assessments.
