§ 500-040. EMERGENCY PLANNING

Emergency Planning is essential to address the planned response to emergencies associated with natural disasters, technological incidents, and national security emergencies in or affecting Sutter County. The Emergency Operations Manager, as stated in Section 500-033 hereof, is responsible for developing the Emergency Operations Plan. To assist in the development of the EOP, an emergency planning advisory committee known as the Disaster Council is appointed by the Board of Supervisors as stated in Section 500-041 hereof. Any EOP adopted by the Board of Supervisors will be deemed situational and may be modified, with regard to emergency response or support to emergency response efforts, by the Emergency Operations Director during an emergency or disaster to meet the basic tenets of Section 500-033 hereof.
