2022 Teton County Emergency Operations Plan Update
2022 Teton County Emergency Operations Plan Update
Teton County is updating the plan it uses to organize our government, private sector, non-governmental organizations, and the community during disaster response.
The Teton County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) organizes disaster response by coordinating resources, staff, systems, and decision-making structures that may be needed for any type of natural disaster, human-caused threat, or another emergency incident.
The EOP facilitates Teton County’s response to major events like the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as more common incidents such as severe winter storms, landslides, or wildfires.
The EOP guides disaster response but is part of a broader cycle of emergency management. Emergency management in Teton County includes our strategies to prevent, mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters. Our plans for mitigating disaster impacts (2020 Hazard Mitigation Plan) and recovering from disasters (2021 All-Hazards Recovery Plan) were recently updated.
