Emergency Planning for Individuals & Households

Johnson County Emergency Management & Homeland Security has compiled a number of planning and preparedness documents to assist citizens with household emergency planning. These templates and web-sites provide the basics of disaster plans for the individuals and families. 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.
Individual & Family: Emergency Prepared Neighborhood Workbook
The EPN Workbook provides an overview of all natural and man-made hazards that are prevalent in Johnson County. In addition, it provides guidance for the development of a home disaster plan. This disaster plan includes responses to such hazards as fire, gas leaks, tornadoes, lightening/severe storms, severe winter weather, etc. The plan guide in this workbook can be developed for individuals and families to protect you and your loved ones in the event of a hazardous event.

Shelter in Place Guidelines
If a hazardous chemical emergency occurs in your neighborhood, the most important thing to remember is to take action immediately. During a hazardous chemical emergency you should go inside and stay put. This procedure is called "Shelter in Place" or "SIP". You should use a single room in your house such as the bathroom or bedroom. If possible, pick a room with a toilet, phone access (cell is acceptable), water and a radio/TV. For a complete guide for developing a Shelter in Place plan for your office, download one of the documents below or call our office and ask that we mail you a copy.
