Sheridan County has announced it will update the plan it uses to organize local government, private sector, non-governmental organizations, and the community during disaster response.
According to the county, the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) organizes community-wide response by coordinating resources, staff, equipment, and decision-making structures that may be needed for any type of natural disaster, human-caused threat, or other emergency incident. The EOP is multi-jurisdictional, meaning it covers all of the towns, cities, and unincorporated areas in Sheridan County.
This EOP facilitates Sheridan County’s response to major events like the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as more common incidents such as severe winter storms and wildfires, or even planned events that require resources and planning across the community such as the WYO Rodeo.
Sheridan County Emergency Management will engage the whole community in this planning effort, including community organizations and residents. The county is inviting community members to join a Community Forum where the project team will provide updates on the planning process and get feedback from residents.
Sheridan County EOP Community Forum: 5:30 – 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 28.
This will be a hybrid online and in-person forum. RSVP to receive a virtual meeting link or to join in-person at the Sheridan County Courthouse 2nd floor addition in the commissioner’s board room, 224 S. Main Street, Sheridan.
