The 2024 Lane County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) serves as a comprehensive framework for coordinating response and recovery efforts during major emergencies and disasters affecting the county.  Emergency Management is responsible for updating it on a regular basis, and the Board of Commissioners approve it on a 2-year cycle.

Its purpose is to establish clear roles, responsibilities, and procedures for government agencies, partners, and stakeholders to ensure an effective, timely, and coordinated response. The EOP outlines key functions such as communications, resource management, public information, and situational awareness, providing guidance for both all-hazard events and specific incidents.

At the heart of this plan is Lane County Emergency Management, which plays a critical leadership role in activating emergency operations, coordinating multi-agency response efforts, and supporting communities as they recover and rebuild.
