Consider Approval of Mecklenburg County Emergency Operations Plan
Summary: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management is the designated government department that plans for and manages response to disasters and/or large scale emergencies within Mecklenburg County, City of Charlotte, and the six towns.  This Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Operations Plan was developed through consultation with all local entities and the effort was facilitated by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management department.  This plan fulfills the State of North Carolina’s requirement for each political jurisdiction to prepare and keep current plans to respond to disasters or large-scale emergencies. It also incorporates the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the standard for emergency response operations which has been adopted by the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.  This plan also establishes the overall roles and responsibilities and the concept of operations for the management of emergency or disaster incidents.
