Emergency Operations Plan

The General Assembly overhauled its emergency preparedness system in 1998.  The Kentucky Division of Emergency Management in the Department of Military Affairs was created to handle emergency situations.  Local governments are required to create and support a local emergency management agency.  

Each shall develop, implement, and maintain a local comprehensive emergency management program, which shall include a local emergency operations plan, in accordance with Chapters 39A through 39F of the Kentucky Revised Statutes and executive branch requirements (HB 453, Section 29).  Each does so in conjunction with the Kentucky Emergency Response Commission.
