Johnson County Emergency Management & Homeland
Security emergency management plans are written to consider all
relevant hazards identified in the Johnson County Hazard Analysis and address the four phase of emergency management - mitigation,
preparedness, response and recovery. It defines, to the maximum extent
appropriate, the policies, roles and responsibilities for management
of emergency operations within the constraints of existing resources
and operational capabilities.
Emergency Management planning in Johnson County including the
county's Local Emergency Operations Plan & Hazard Mitigation Plan, for
example, rely on a cooperative process between the county and the
various cities within the county. In accordance with KSA 48-929,
responsibility for emergency management and emergency operations
planning resides with the county. It is the policy and intention of
Johnson County, however, to encourage the cities within the county to
develop emergency operations plans of their own.
