It is the policy and intention of JCEMHS to encourage and support integrated emergency planning throughout Johnson County and with all of its partners. To this end, JCEMHS provides a variety of information, guidance, and support to its stakeholders. The following information provides basic emergency planning guidance information for city and county government entities in Johnson County.  Please contact JCEMHS at emm-planning@jocogov.org for additional information and/or assistance.  

City Emergency Operations Plans

JCEMHS encourages all cities to develop and maintain emergency operations plans (EOPs) for their jurisdiction and is available to provide assistance to cities in the development and maintenance of their plan. As city EOPs are required to be consistent with the concepts and systems identified in the Johnson County Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP), JCEMHS is required to review city EOPs to ensure alignment and will do so upon request of any city.  It is recommended that cities contact JCEMHS before they create new EOPs or begin significant updates to them for the latest planning guidance, information, and support.  

 JCEMHS has created an Emergency Planning Reference page to assist cities in the development of their plans.  JCEMHS recommends that cities use DHS FEMA's Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101 as the core guidance document in developing their emergency operations plans.
