Clark County EOP Basic Plan 1. Introduction referred to generally in this EOP as the Clark County Office of Emergency Management (OEM). In accordance with the SCEMP, OEM should be prepared to:  Maintain an emergency management program at the county level which involves all local government agencies, private, nongovernmental, and volunteer organizations.  Implement a broad-based public awareness, education, and information program designed to reach all county residents and visitors, including those needing special media formats, non-English speaking persons, and persons with sensory impairment or loss.  Ensure the County’s ability to maintain and operate a 24-hour warning point with the capability of warning the public of an imminent threat or actual threat and coordinate public information activities during an emergency or disaster. This includes maintaining the state EAS and the National Warning System (NAWAS).  Develop a county emergency management plan consistent with the SCEMP.  Coordinate the emergency management needs of all communities within the county and work to establish mutual aid agreements to render emergency assistance to one another.  Designate a location for the County MACC.  Declare a county State of Emergency and requesting assistance from the State.  Coordinate emergency response efforts within the various political jurisdictions, including coordinating shelter activation, and requesting outside assistance when necessary. A county or city emergency management director will be responsible for recommending to the board of county commissioners, city manager, or mayor that a local State of Emergency be declared.  Activate mutual aid agreements with neighboring counties and among municipalities within the county in accordance with the Nevada Emergency Management Assistance Compact (NEMAC), Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), and other mutual aid agreements.  Provide evacuation shelter facilities during a federal, state or local emergency or disaster. Through the school district and other appropriate agencies, a county shall provide sites, facilities and necessary personnel to staff such facilities.  Each school board that provides transportation assistance in an emergency evacuation shall coordinate the use of its vehicles with the local emergency management agency.  Maintain cost and expenditure reports associated with emergencies and disasters, including resources mobilized as a result of mutual aid agreements. As approved by the Board of Commissioners, OEM has been identified as the lead agency for response to and recovery from emergencies and disasters within Clark County. The County Emergency Manager has the authority and responsibility for the organization, administration, and operations of OEM. The Emergency Manager may delegate any of these activities to designees, as appropriate. 1-7
