Consideration of a resolution adopting the Cheyenne/Laramie County Emergency Operations Plan.

Summary

This resolution formally adopts the Cheyenne/Laramie County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The plan is mandated by Wyoming Statute §19-13-108, which requires political subdivisions to establish local emergency management programs aligned with the State Emergency Management Plan. It also incorporates the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS) as implemented by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The EOP aims to provide a unified approach to managing emergencies and disasters across all of Laramie County, ensuring coordinated response and recovery efforts among participating municipalities (Albin, Burns, Cheyenne, Pine Bluffs) and Laramie County itself, with oversight from the Cheyenne/Laramie County Emergency Management Agency. The plan was reviewed and approved by the Board of County Commissioners of Laramie County.
