MUNICIPAL EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN (EOP)

 

A.                PURPOSE:

 

This municipal plan has been developed to provide procedures for the Village of Holmen government agencies to respond to various types of emergencies or disasters that affect the community.  It provides a link to procedures that will be used by county government since the Village of Holmen is part of the county emergency management program.  This municipal plan will be used in conjunction with the La Crosse County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).  The municipal plan will be maintained in accordance with current standards of the La Crosse County EOP and in accordance with the local/municipal government.  Review of this municipal plan shall be accomplished concurrently with the county plan.

Several types of hazards pose a threat to the lives, property or environment in La Crosse County.  These hazards are outlined in the La Crosse County Hazards Analysis.  A copy of this is located in the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

 

C.                 CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS:

 

Municipal officials have primary responsibility for disasters which take place in the municipality.  They will activate the appropriate municipal agencies to deal with the disaster.  The chief elected municipal official or the municipality emergency director is responsible for coordinating the response of municipal agencies and coordinating the response with county officials, if county assistance is necessary.

local roads and recommends protective actions if necessary.

h.                  Notify the public of the situation and appropriate actions to take.

i.                    Keep county officials informed of the situation and actions taken.

 

3.                  If municipal resources become exhausted or if special resources are

required, request county assistance through the La Crosse Emergency

Management Coordinator.

 

4.                  If assistance is requested, the La Crosse County Emergency Management Coordinator assesses the situation and makes recommendations.

 

5.                  The county will do the following ( to the extent appropriate):

a.                   Activate the County EOC.

b.                  Implement the County EOC.

c.                   Respond with county resources as requested.

d.                  Activate mutual aid agreements.

e.                   Coordinate county resources with municipal resources.

f.                   Notify Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM)

Regional Director.

g.                  Forward Uniform Damage Situation Report (UDSR) form.

h.                  Assist municipality with prioritizing and allocating resources.

 

6.                  If municipal and county resources are exhausted, the County Emergency

Management Coordinator can request state assistance through Wisconsin

Emergency Management (WEM).

 

7.                  If state assistance is requested, the WEM Administrator in conjunction

with the Regional Director, County Coordinator and Municipal Emergency Management Director assess the disaster or emergency situation and recommend that personnel, services and equipment be made available for response, mitigation or recovery.

 

8.                  After completing the assessment, the WEM Regional Director

immediately notifies the State WEM Administrator.

 

            9;         The State Administrator of Emergency Management notifies the Governor

                        and makes recommendations.

 

            10.       If state assistance is granted, procedures will be followed as stated in the                           Wisconsin EOP and the County EOP.
