Clark County EOP Basic Plan Letter of Promulgation Letter of Promulgation To all Recipients: Promulgated herewith is the Emergency Operations Plan for Clark County. This plan supersedes any previous plans. It provides a framework within which the County can plan and perform its emergency functions during a disaster or national emergency. This Emergency Operations Plan is a component of the County’s comprehensive approach to emergency management that ensures that the County is prepared to prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from the hazards and threats that pose the greatest risk to the County. Focused on response and short-term recovery activities, this Emergency Operations Plan provides a framework for how the County will conduct emergency operations. The plan identifies key roles and responsibilities, defines the primary and support roles of County agencies and departments, outlines the steps for coordinating with response partners, and establishes a system for incident management. The outlined framework is consistent with the Incident Command System and the National Incident Management System. This plan has been approved and adopted by the Clark Board of County Commissioners at the recommendation of the Clark County Emergency Manager. All recipients are requested to advise the Clark County Emergency Manager of any changes that might result in its improvement or increase its usefulness.
