Polk County Emergency Management is committed to the development and maintenance of a county wide, integrated system to prepare for, respond to, recover from and mitigate against disasters.

The Polk County Emergency Operations Plan  is a document which provides the basic framework to guide departments, agencies and organizations having emergency capabilities in their efforts to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from any major emergency or disaster which may affect all or parts of Polk County.

This Plan is developed under the Integrated Emergency Management System concept; it is intended to address all hazards, all disciplines, all emergency phases and all jurisdictions with a role in any emergency affecting Polk County.

The basic Plan identifies authorities and references, defines operational conditions, describes the County emergency operations organization, assigns emergency responsibilities, and provides a concept of operations. The Annexes outline specific emergency functions, assign tasks, and describe methods by which emergency functions will be accomplished. The Appendices supplement actions outlined in the Plan and Annexes by providing guidelines to assist in the carrying out of appropriate emergency activities under specific emergency conditions (contingency plans) or by detailing specific operation procedures.
