When you think of potential disasters in Teton County, what one word comes to mind?

Closed for Comments

Teton County Emergency Management (TCEM) is updating the all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for Teton County and the Town of Jackson. TCEM will engage the whole community in this planning effort, including community-based organizations and residents.

This page is devoted to engaging the community to develop an inclusive and comprehensive plan. Engagement in the planning process will result in more inclusive strategies during our response to a major emergency or disaster impacting Teton County.
