| 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. |

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. Shelter in Place Guidelines - .doc - .pdf Shelter in Place at Your Office - .pdf Shelter in Place Brochure - .pdf |
