EOP Resolution May 2019 Pittsylvania County Emergency Operations Plan May 2019
PROMULGATION OF THE PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 44-146.19 of the Code of Virginia as
the Emergency Services Director, I hereby promulgate and issue the Emergency
Operations Plan ("the Plan"), dated January 1, 2019,
which provides for a County response to emergencies and disasters wherein assistance
is needed by affected citizens in order to save lives; to protect public health, safety, and
property; to restore essential services; and to effect an economic recovery.
As necessary, the Emergency Management Coordinator, on behalf of the Director, is
hereby authorized to activate the County's Emergency Operations Center (EDO) in order
to direct and control County emergency operations. Activation of the County's EOC
shall constitute implementation of the Plan.
As directed by the Plan, the Director of Emergency Management is responsible for
command and control, and direction of recovery efforts following any disaster that
confronts the County. In the absence of the Director, the Deputy Director assumes the
responsibility. In the absence of both the Director, and Deputy Director, this
responsibility is assumed by the Coordinator.
In accordance with the duties and responsibilities assigned in the Plan, each designated
county department or agency shall:
1. Become familiar with and maintain the part(s) of the Plan for which
it is responsible;
2. Conduct an on-going training program and participate in exercises
as needed in order to maintain an appropriate emergency response
capability;
3. In time of emergency, implement emergency response actions as
specified in the Plan, in coordination with the County's EOC; and
4. Assist with post-disaster restoration and recovery operations as
required.
The Plan is consistent with the Virginia Emergency Services and Disaster Laws of 2000,
as amended (Chapter 3.2, Title 44 of the Code of Virginia) and the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288, as amended) and its
implementing regulations.
This Executive Order shall be effective upon its signing and shall remain in full force and
effect until amended or rescinded by further executive order.
