Emergency Operations Plan
ORGANIZATION, PROMULGATION, AND ADOPTION
PLAN ORGANIZATION AND CONTENT
The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is consistent with the accepted standards and principles of the
National Incident Management System(NIMS) as mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive
#5, as well as Presidential Policy Directive #8. The use of NIMS ensures that Eagle County's response
and recovery efforts are aligned with the nationally accepted emergency management system for
addressing all types of hazards and for integrating multiple agencies,jurisdictions, and disciplines into a
coordinated response effort.
This document utilizes the all-hazards preparedness and planning approach, which is consistent with
federal guidelines including NIMS and the National Response Framework (NRF). As such, the EOP
recognizes that while all disaster situations are unique, key response and recovery activities and planning
elements are consistent.
This plan is organized as follows:
BASE PLAN
Describes the structure and processes comprising a countywide approach to incident management
designed to integrate the efforts and resources of local government,private-sector, and non-governmental
organizations. The Base Plan includes planning assumptions, roles and responsibilities, policies, initial
actions, and plan maintenance instructions.
EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION (ESF)ANNEXES
Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) provide the structure for coordinating the many government and
private-sector partners that work together as part of Eagle County's unified emergency response. The ESF
Annexes to the Emergency Operations Plan contain details on the missions, policies, structures, and
responsibilities of local agencies for coordinating resource and programmatic assistance in support of
local communities. ESF Lead agencies may identify other planning efforts or procedures that assist in the
execution of each function. ESF Annexes are considered adopted by reference as they are signed as part
of Eagle County's comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan. This section may be updated more
frequently than the rest of the Emergency Operations Plan to reflect changes in best practices and
operating procedures. Under the EOP, ESF Annexes are planning documents, not procedural documents,
and are available for public review.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, INCIDENT, AND EVENT ANNEXES
Additional Annexes to the Emergency Operations Plan are supplemental documents that support
emergency planning efforts. Annexes may contain definitions, sample or actual contracts and agreements,
and hazard-specific plans for incidents and/or events that are likely to occur in Eagle County, Colorado.
These Annexes and plans are considered adopted by reference as they are signed as part of Eagle
County's comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan. This section may be updated more frequently than
the rest of the Emergency Operations Plan to reflect changes in best practices and operating procedures.
As part of the EOP, Supporting Documents,Incident, and Event Annexes are available for public review.
Eagle County EOP 5
Docusign Envelope ID:DBBE0753-EB1A-4F35-8DD2-45A31861D583
Emergency Operations Plan
ADOPTION & PROMULGATION
The Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan is an all-discipline, all-hazards plan that establishes a
single, comprehensive framework for managing domestic incidents. It provides the structure and
mechanisms for coordinating local support and coordination with state and federal agencies. The Eagle
County Emergency Operations Plan is important to the mission of reducing the vulnerability to all natural
and human caused hazards, minimizing the damage, and assisting in the recovery from any type of
incident that occurs.
This Emergency Operations Plan will be formally adopted by the Eagle County Board of County
Commissioners by Resolution and filed with the Eagle County Department of Emergency Management
and the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The Board of County
Commissioners considers this plan effective for two (2) years upon adoption. The Eagle County
Emergency Manager oversees planning and coordination processes for the regular update and adoption of
the Emergency Operations Plan. The Eagle County Emergency Manager shall approve all changes to the
Emergency Operations Plan between adoption periods and noted in the Record of Changes document as a
continuous record from previous versions.
Once adopted, this Emergency Operations Plan will be distributed to all public safety agencies and state,
federal, and local governments that operate within Eagle County. The EOP will also be public.
Departments, agencies, organizations and offices of elected officials in Eagle County are responsible for
developing and maintaining up-to-date internal standard operating procedures,training and exercise plans
to support the overall Emergency Operations Plan.
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
This document supersedes all previous versions of the Eagle County Emergency Operation Plan.
The transfer of management authority for actions during an incident is done through the execution of a
written delegation of authority from an agency to the Incident Commander. This procedure facilitates the
transition between incident management levels. The delegation of authority is a part of the briefmg
package provided to an incoming incident management team. It should contain both the delegation of
authority and specific limitations to that authority.
The Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan delegates the Board of County Commissioners' authority
to specific individuals. Unless otherwise noted, the chain of succession in a major emergency or disaster
is as follows:
• County Manager
• Deputy County Manager(s)

Emergency Operations Plan
PURPOSE, SCOPE, & PLANNING PRINCIPLES
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and its Annexes is to establish a
comprehensive, countywide, all hazards approach to incident management across a spectrum of mission
areas including prevention,protection,mitigation,response, and recovery.
The Eagle County EOP incorporates best practices and procedures from various incident management
disciplines—homeland security, emergency management, law enforcement, firefighting, hazardous
materials response, public works, public health, emergency medical services, and responder and recovery
worker health and safety—and integrates them into a unified coordinating structure.
The Eagle County EOP and its Annexes provide the framework for interaction with local,private sector,
and nongovernmental organizations. The EOP describes capabilities and resources and establishes
responsibilities and operational processes for coordinating response activities, sharing incident
information with response partners and the public, alert and notification, and mobilization of resources
during an incident response.
SCOPE
The Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan recognizes and incorporates the various jurisdictional and
functional authorities of local agencies, private-sector organizations, and nongovernmental organizations.
This plan is applicable to all agencies and organizations that may be requested to assist or conduct
operations related to actual or potential incidents within the county.
The Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan addresses the full spectrum of activities related to incident
management. This plan focuses on those activities that are directly related to an evolving incident or
potential incident.
As a high-level strategic document, the Emergency Operations Plan complements and integrates with
other emergency plans including tactical response plans, jurisdiction emergency operations plans,
continuity of operations and continuity of government plans,the countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan, and
other prevention,protection,mitigation,response, and recovery systems within Eagle County.
Unless specified otherwise, the Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan recognizes and incorporates all
jurisdictions, sub jurisdictions, and private lands within the borders of Eagle County, Colorado. This
includes (but is not limited to):
• County Government: Eagle County Government
• Municipalities: Vail,Minturn,Red Cliff,Avon,Eagle, Gypsum,Basalt
• Fire Districts and Coverage Areas: Vail Fire and Emergency Services, Eagle River Fire
Protection District, Greater Eagle Fire Protection District,Gypsum Fire Protection District, Eagle

STRATEGIC, OPERATIONAL, AND TACTICAL PLANNING
There are three tiers of planning: Strategic Planning, Operational Planning, and Tactical Planning. The
Emergency Operations Plan is largely a Strategic and Operational planning document,but it is important
to understand how the three tiers of planning complement each other to create an effective response.
• Strategic Planning: Outlines the intent of leaders and policy makers, provides high-level
guidance and authority for the response, and sets the context and expectations for operational
planning.
• Operational Planning: Provides the tasks and resources needed to execute the strategy.
• Tactical Planning directs personnel, equipment, and resources on an incident scene to complete
the operational tasks within a given time frame. All three tiers of planning occur at all levels of
government.

EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Eagle County has a total population of 54,960 (2020). Its major transportation route is I70 which extends
East/West with 60 miles of road across the county. Eagle County borders Summit, Grand, Routt, Lake,
Pitkin, and Garfield County.
Eagle County comprises a land area of 1,701 square miles or 1,088,485 acres with elevations ranging
from about 6,000 feet to more than 14,000 feet above sea level. More than 82%of Eagle County's land is
public, including National Forests,wilderness areas,U.S. Bureau of Land Management(BLM)properties,
and state and local public lands. Within the county,the U.S. Forest Service manages 595,860 acres of the
White River National Forest, and the Bureau of Land Management manages 247,751 acres of land. Along
the northeast boundary is the Eagle's Nest Wilderness Area, in the southeast quadrant is the Holy Cross
Wilderness Area, and a small piece of Flat Tops Wilderness Area is in the northwest corner. These
wilderness areas all belong to the White River National Forest. There are several State Wildlife and
Resource Management Areas and also Sylvan Lake State Park. The Continental Divide runs along a
portion of the southern boundary, and the Colorado Trail (a non-motorized use trail)crosses the southeast
corner of the county. Eagle County is predominantly situated in the Eagle and Colorado River Valleys
with the Town of Basalt and El Jebel area located in the Roaring Fork River Valley.
The responsibility for Eagle County's public safety systems is shared across multiple jurisdictions and
response agencies. Eagle County is served by seven distinct fire districts and coverage areas, five law
enforcement agencies, two emergency medical services districts, and two 911 public safety answering
points. Eagle County Government, seven municipalities, federal land partners, state parks, and interstate
highway authorities also provide support for Eagle County's public safety systems. More details are
available in the Annex: Public Safety Districts and Coverage Areas.

Emergency Operations Plan
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT
Eagle County's complete Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment is detailed in the Eagle County
Hazard Mitigation Plan for Eagle County Government and all participating jurisdictions and public safety
agencies. Eagle County is vulnerable to a wide variety of natural and manmade hazards that threaten life
and property. Damage to critical facilities and disruption of vital services caused by natural hazards can
have a significant impact on our communities. Furthermore,recent local and national events establish that
risks exist from human-caused hazards ranging from accidents to domestic and international terrorism.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan includes full profiles of the following hazards:
• Avalanche
• Drought
• Floods
• Intentional Attack
• Landslides
• Lightning
• Sever Wind
• Severe Winter Weather
• Transportation Incidents
• Wildfire
At the regional level, the Northwest All Hazards Emergency Management Region (comprised of Eagle,
Summit, Pitkin, Routt, Grand, Jackson, Moffatt, Rio Blanco, Garfield, and Mesa Counties)also conducts
a regional Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) in accordance with the
Department of Homeland Security's THIRA Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 201. The THIRA
process helps communities identify capability targets and resource requirements necessary to address
anticipated and unanticipated risks. The THIRA process is updated independently from the Emergency
Operations Plan at the regional level and is For Official Use Only. Public safety partners with a
need-to-know can access the full THIRA by contacting the Eagle County Emergency Manager.
MITIGATION OVERVIEW
Mitigation actions are efforts that reduce the likelihood and/or consequences of natural and manmade
hazards. Eagle County's mitigation strategies,projects,processes,progress, and future efforts are detailed
in the Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan. County planning documents are also available for more
information on mitigation projects. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000,44 CFR; 201.6,provides grants
for implementation of both pre- and post- disaster mitigation projects through the FEMA Hazards
Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). This section is specifically detailed in the Eagle County Hazard
Mitigation Plan.
Eagle County EOP 11
Docusign Envelope ID:DBBE0753-EB1A-4F35-8DD2-45A31861D583
Emergency Operations Plan
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
This section describes the local coordinating structures, processes, and protocols employed to manage
incidents or disasters in Eagle County. These coordinating structures and processes are designed to enable
execution of the responsibilities of each jurisdiction having authority and to integrate local,
Non-Governmental Organizations, and private sector efforts into a comprehensive approach to incident
management.
A basic premise of the Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan is that incidents are generally handled at
the lowest jurisdictional level possible. Police, fire, emergency medical services, and other first
responders are responsible for incident management and coordination at the local level. In the vast
majority of incidents, local resources and regional mutual aid resources provide the first line of
emergency response and incident management support.
When a local jurisdiction requires assistance with providing logistical support for an incident or when
several local jurisdictions are experiencing simultaneous incidents requiring similar resources, the Eagle
County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may be activated through the County Emergency
Management Director or designee in accordance with the Annex: EOC Activation Procedures to
coordinate efforts and provide appropriate support to the incident command structure.
The framework created by these coordinating structures is designed to accommodate the various roles
local government plays during an incident, whether it is support to local agencies, or direct
implementation of the Eagle County incident management authorities and responsibilities under state and
federal law.
NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS)
FRAMEWORK
The structure for coordination outlined in the Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan is based •
on National Incident Command System:
NIMS GUIDING PRINCIPLES
• Management by Objectives
The Incident Commander and EOC Manager establish objectives that drive all incident and EOC
operations, respectively.
• Scalable,Flexible,&Adaptable Modular Organization
ICS and EOC structures develop in a modular fashion based on an incident's size, complexity,
and hazard environment. Responsibility for establishing ICS and EOC teams rests with the
Incident Commander and EOC Manager. Responsibility for functions that subordinates perform
defaults to the next higher supervisory position until the supervisor delegates those
responsibilities.
• Position-Specific Leadership
An individual's roles and responsibilities during an incident are defined by their position within
the ICS or EOC structure and not their day-to-day role within the organization.
• Chain of Command and Unity of Command
Each individual involved in an incident reports to and takes direction from only one person.
Eagle County EOP 12
Docusign Envelope ID:DBBE0753-EB1A-4F35-8DD2-45A31861D583
Emergency Operations Plan
• Manageable Span of Control
Maintaining an appropriate span of control helps ensure an effective and efficient incident
management operation. The optimal span of control for incident management is one supervisor to
five subordinates.
• Whole Community
Enabling the participation of a wide range of players from the private sector, nonprofit sector, and
the community to foster better coordination and working relationships.
COORDINATION STRUCTURES
• Incident Command/Unified Command on-scene:
Maintains authority, responsibility, and accountability for its personnel and other resources while
managing and directing incident activities through the establishment of a common set of incident
objectives, strategies, and a single Incident Action Plan. Incident Command typically operates out
of an Incident Command Post on scene. Supported by the Emergency Operations Center and
Policy Group.
• Emergency Operations Center(EOC) Support and Coordination
Supports Incident Command in accomplishing its objectives. Identifies and coordinates any
response and recovery needs beyond the scope or capabilities of Incident Command. The term
"EOC" may refer to the coordination system or the physical location where this coordination
takes place. The EOC is typically activated to support when:
o Local response capacity is insufficient(resources support)
o Extensive cross-agency or cross jurisdiction needs (coordination support)
o High cost to partners or residents(financial/recovery support)
o High level of public attention(communications support)
• Policy Group/Multi-Agency Coordination(MAC) Group
Consists of agency administrators or executives from organizations or their designees. MAC
Groups provide policy guidance to incident personnel, support resource prioritization and
allocation, and enable decision making among elected and appointed officials and senior
executives in other organizations and those directly responsible for incident management.
• Eagle County Joint Information Center(JIC)
Serves as a focal point for the unified coordination and dissemination of information to the public
and media during incident operations. The JIC staff develops, coordinates, and disseminates
unified news releases alongside access and functional needs coordinator and an interpreter as
needed. Public information and news releases are cleared through Incident Command and/or the
EOC to ensure consistent messages, avoid release of conflicting information, and prevent
negative impact on operations. This formal approval process ensures protection of law
enforcement sensitive information.Agencies may issue their own news releases related to their
policies,procedures, and capabilities,however,these should be coordinated with the JIC.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT MISSION AREAS
Eagle County Emergency Management supports public safety partners with pre-disaster operations,
emergency response operations, and post-disaster recovery operations as outlined by the five Mission
Areas:
• Prevention
Actions that prevent, stop, or reduce the likelihood of a manmade or natural hazard occurrence
• Protection
Actions that protect our citizens, residents, visitors, infrastructure, and assets against the greatest
threats and hazards
• Mitigation
Actions that reduce loss of life and damage to property by lessening the impacts of future
disasters
• Response
Actions that support an effective emergency response to quickly save lives, protect property and
the environment, and meet basic human needs
• Recovery
Actions that support the timely restoration, strengthening and revitalization of infrastructure,
housing and a sustainable economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historic and
environmental fabric of communities affected by a catastrophic incident
ROLE CLARIFICATION
First Responders
Police, fire, public health and medical, emergency management, public works, hazardous materials
response, and other personnel are often the first to arrive and the last to leave an incident site. When local
resources and capabilities are overwhelmed, the local Chief Executive Officer or their designee may
request assistance from additional districts,municipalities, or Eagle County.
Chief Elected/Appointed Officials
The highest-level elected or appointed leaders of public safety organizations and local government
structures are ultimately responsible for the public safety and welfare of the people in the jurisdiction they
serve. Typically the Chief Elected or Appointed Official for an organization or government would be an

Emergency Operations Plan
Elected Leader, Chief, Mayor, Chair of the Board, and/or an organization's Chief Executive Officer or
designee. Responsibilities of the Local Chief Elected/Appointed Official include:
• Providing policy direction and authority for emergency response activities within their
jurisdiction
• Top-level responsibility for addressing the full spectrum of actions to prevent, protect, mitigate,
respond to, and recover from incidents involving all natural and manmade hazards.
• Depending upon state and local law,the Chief Elected/Appointed Official may have extraordinary
powers to suspend local laws and ordinances, such as to establish a curfew, direct evacuations,
and, in accordance with the local health authority,to order quarantine.
• Playing a key role in communicating with the public and organization staff, and in helping
people,businesses, and organizations cope with the consequences of any type of domestic
incident within the jurisdiction.
• Negotiating and entering into mutual aid agreements and financial agreements with other
jurisdictions to facilitate resource sharing.
• Requesting assistance through the appropriate channels when the jurisdiction's capabilities have
been exceeded or exhausted
DIRECTION, CONTROL, AND COORDINATION
The responsibility for the management of an emergency rests with the elected and appointed leadership of
each jurisdiction, special district, and public safety authority. The response to an emergency in Eagle
County will be made at the lowest governmental level that will ensure operational effectiveness. Each
jurisdictional agency is responsible for approving and managing the use of their own resources for
emergency purposes and establishing a line of succession for authorizing funds and other emergency
resources.
When incident needs are beyond the scope or capabilities of Incident Command, the overall authority to
offer support and coordination to each jurisdictional agency in an emergency rests with the Eagle County
Emergency Manager,the Emergency Operations Center, and the Emergency Support Function Leads.
When response and recovery needs exceed the capabilities of Eagle County,the Eagle County EOC is the
conduit to the State of Colorado Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) for resource assistance and other
state and federal support. Communication and information sharing between the Eagle County EOC and
the State EOC is typically conducted between the County Emergency Manager or EOC Manager on
behalf of the county and the Regional Field Manager on behalf of the Colorado Division of Homeland
Security and Emergency Management.

DISASTER AND EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS
A Disaster/Emergency Declaration is an administrative tool used by local governments and special
districts to signal to its constituents and other governments that an emergency exceeds or has the potential
to exceed local capacity. Disaster/Emergency Declarations may be used to authorize emergency spending,
enable emergency authorities, suspend laws and policies that inhibit an effective response, encourage
prioritization of resource requests, and open channels for state and federal resource and financial support.
A local municipality or special district may declare a local disaster or an emergency by notifying the
Eagle County Emergency Manager and the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) or
County Manager.
Eagle County may also issue a Disaster Emergency Declaration at the county level when an incident or
potential incident is of such severity, magnitude, and/or complexity that it is considered a disaster. At the
request of the county,the State of Colorado may also issue a State Declaration of Disaster/Emergency and
will serve as the channel to the federal government should thresholds be met to request a Presidential
Disaster Declaration in accordance with the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act. In the context of Presidentially Declared Disasters, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
coordinates supplemental federal assistance when the consequences of the incident exceed local and state
capabilities.
Refer to the Annex: Disaster/Emergency Declaration Procedures for details on Eagle County's
Disaster/emergency Declaration Process.

EOC ACTIVATION
The Public Safety Answering Point(911 Dispatch)notifies Emergency Management of complex incidents
and events with the potential to expand. Following notification,the Eagle County Emergency Operations
Center is activated by the Eagle County Emergency Manager at the request of the Incident Commander to
coordinate response and recovery needs that go beyond the scope or capabilities of Incident Command.
The EOC Manager activates the positions within the EOC individually depending on the needs of the
response. The size and scope of the EOC is flexible and scalable throughout the activation period.
COMMUNITY LIFELINES
s.wtaa raa,wax, iwmiaia �
s� s� �aw IN.Kar�Ml t
The Eagle County EOC structures its response around stabilizing eight Community Lifelines. Lifelines
are the most fundamental services in the community that, when stabilized, enable all other aspects of
society to function. All Community Lifelines are interdependent, and destabilizing one Lifeline will
Eagle County EOP 18
Docusign Envelope ID:DBBE0753-EB1A-4F35-8DD2-45A31861D583
Emergency Operations Plan
frequently impact the status of other Lifelines. When disrupted, decisive intervention is required to
stabilize the incident. The eight Community Lifelines in Eagle County are:
• Safety& Security • Food,Water, Shelter
• Health&Medical • • Energy(Power&Fuel)
• Communications • Transportation
• Hazardous Materials • Natural Resource&the Economy
During EOC activations, Community Lifelines are assessed and assigned one of the following colors:
® [gray]: Status Unknown
C• [green]: Stable
0• [yellow]: Functional,but inadequate for consistent service
® [red]: Unstable, inadequate level of service
EOC INFORMATION SHARING SYSTEMS
One of the essential missions of the Emergency Operations Center is to ensure a common operating
picture and effective information sharing between Incident Command, the EOC, Emergency Support
Function partners, Policy Group members, and the community. Critical information requirements may
vary by incident. All incident information should be archived and saved to Eagle County drives for
record-keeping purposes. Additional guidance is provided in the EOC Activation Annex.
Fundamental methods of information sharing through the EOC include:
EOC Situation Report
The EOC Situation Report (SitRep) is an internal document for all response partners and Policy Group
members involved in an incident response. The SitRep seeks to provide a common operating picture
while prioritizing the status of Community Lifelines and actions and resource needs associated with those
lifelines.
EOC Briefings
EOC Briefings are in-person or virtual opportunities for Emergency Support Functions, EOC staff, and
liaisons from Incident Command to brief EOC partners on the status of the incident and the status,
actions, and resource needs associated with each Community Lifeline.
Policy Group Briefings
Policy Group Briefings provide Incident Command and EOC response partners with an opportunity to
update key Policy Group members on the status of the incident and any policy decisions that need to be
made. Policy Group Briefings should clearly characterize any policy questions or needs for policy
guidance, provide Policy Group members with subject matter expertise to inform their decisions, and
conclude with clear policy direction for Incident Command and the EOC.
Public Information Channels
The Joint Information Center (JIC) will oversee a continuous cycle of identifying critical public
information needs, collecting accurate and timely information from response partners to meet those needs,
and using a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional channels to ensure members of the public
receive the information. Extra emphasis will be put on identifying marginalized and
Eagle County EOP 19

disproportionately-impacted populations in the community and targeting messaging to the people who
need it most.

WHOLE COMMUNITY INCLUSION
As a concept, Whole Community is a means by which residents, emergency management practitioners,
organizational and community leaders, and government officials can collectively understand and assess
the needs of their respective communities and determine the best ways to organize and strengthen their
assets, capacities, and interests. By doing so, a more effective path to societal security and resilience is
built. In a sense, Whole Community is a philosophical approach to thinking about emergency
management.
There are many different kinds of communities, including communities of place, interest, belief, and
circumstance, which can exist both geographically and virtually (e.g., online forums). A Whole
Community approach attempts to engage the full capacity of the private and nonprofit sectors,including
businesses, faith-based and disability organizations, and the citizens, along with the participation of local,
tribal, state, territorial, and Federal governmental partners. This engagement means different things to
different groups. In an all hazards environment, individuals and institutions will make different decisions
on how to prepare for and respond to threats and hazards; therefore, a community's level of preparedness
will vary. The challenge for those engaged in emergency management is to understand how to work with
the diversity of groups and organizations and the policies and practices that emerge from them in an effort
to improve the ability of local residents to prevent,protect against,mitigate,respond to, and recover from
any type of threat or hazard effectively.
To align with a holistic community approach, our notification systems encompass mass notification via an
Emergency Communications Alert System (ECAlert), which constitutes an Everbridge notification to the
community. Additionally, the county utilizes applications such as ReachWell to engage communities
whose primary language is not English, as well as Genasys Protect Evacuation Platform. These projects
received funding, in full or in part, from the 911 Authority Board. All Eagle County law enforcement,
fire, and EMS agencies employ these tools as decision-making aids for determining evacuations, traffic
control, and other emergency requirements, relaying these needs to the Vail Public Safety
Communications Center. The Vail Public Safety Communications Center is tasked with actively
disseminating updated notifications, maintaining the emergency map with evacuations,road closures, and
other pertinent emergency information as directed by the Incident Commander. The Emergency
Management Department serves as the primary host of the emergency map on Eagle County public
information channels, collaborating with the Vail Public Safety Communications Center to keep the map
current during Emergency Operations Center activations.
WHOLE COMMUNITY PRINCIPLES
Numerous factors contribute to the resilience of communities and effective emergency management
outcomes. However, three principles that represent the foundation for establishing a Whole Community
approach to emergency management emerged during the national dialogue:
• Understand and meet the actual needs of the whole community
• Engage and empower all parts of the community
• Strengthen what works well in communities on a daily basis

PRIVATE SECTOR
Eagle County Emergency Management and support agencies coordinate with the private sector to
effectively share information, form courses of action, and incorporate available resources to prepare for,
respond to,and recover from incidents or disasters.
The roles, responsibilities, and participation of the private sector during incidents or disasters vary based
on the nature of the organization and the type and impact of the incident. Common roles of private sector
organizations are summarized below:
• Impacted Organization or Infrastructure
Private sector organizations may be affected by direct or indirect consequences of the incident,
including privately owned critical infrastructure, key resources, and those main private sector
organizations that are significant to local, regional, and national economic recovery from the
incident. Examples of privately owned infrastructure include transportation,telecommunications,
private utilities, financial institutions, and hospitals.
• Response Resource
Private sector organizations may provide response resources(donated or compensated)during an
incident including specialized teams, equipment, and advanced technologies through local
public-private emergency plans, mutual aid agreements, or incident specific requests from
government and private sector volunteer initiatives.
• Regulated and/or Responsible Party
Owners/operators of certain private sector regulated facilities or hazardous operations may bear
responsibilities under the law for preparing for and preventing incidents from occurring, and
responding to an incident once it occurs. For example, federal regulations require
owners/operators of Tier II reporting facilities to maintain emergency (incident) preparedness
plans, procedures, and to perform assessments, prompt notifications, and training for a response
to an incident.
• Local Emergency Organization Member
Private sector organization members may serve as active partners in local emergency
preparedness and response organizations and activities.
PRIVATE SECTOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Private sector organizations support the Eagle County Emergency Operations Plan (voluntarily or to
comply with applicable laws and regulations) by sharing information with the government, identifying
risks, performing vulnerability assessments, developing emergency response and business continuity
plans, enhancing their overall readiness, implementing appropriate prevention and protection programs,
and donating or otherwise providing goods and services through contractual arrangement or government
purchases to assist in response to and recovery from an incident.
Certain organizations are required by existing law and regulation to bear the cost of planning response to
incidents, regardless of cause. In the case of an incident or disaster,these private sector organizations are
expected to mobilize and employ the resources necessary and available in accordance with their plans to
address the consequences of incidents at their own facilities or incidents for which they are otherwise
responsible.

Docusign Envelope ID:DBBE0753-EB1A-4F35-8DD2-45A31861D583
Emergency Operations Plan
Unless the response is inherently governmental, private sector organizations are encouraged to develop
and maintain capabilities to respond to and manage a complete spectrum of incidents and emergencies.
The local government should maintain ongoing interaction with the critical infrastructure and key
resource industries to provide coordination for prevention, protection, mitigation,response, and recovery
activities. When practical, or when required under federal law, private sector representatives should be
included in planning and exercises.
The government may, in some cases direct private sector response resources when they have contractual
relationships, using government funds. The lead agency for each Emergency Support Function must
maintain working relations with its associated private sector counterparts through partnership committees
or other means.
CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT AND COMMUNITY/VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATIONS
ACTIVE IN DISASTERS
Strong partnerships with citizens groups and community/volunteer organizations provide a foundation for
effective whole community emergency prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery efforts.
As an emergency evolves, Incident Command and the EOC are continually assessing impacts to the
community and seeking to address unmet needs. In situations where government resources are insufficient
or not well-suited to meet certain community needs, the EOC may engage community and volunteer
organizations to support impacted community members.
Role of the EOC when coordinating with community/volunteer organizations:
• Sharing information with organizations that helps them understand unmet needs in the
community and what support may be needed
• Connecting impacted community members with organizations that are interested in providing
support
• Providing logistical support and/or technical assistance to community and volunteer organizations
when needed
Role of community/volunteer organizations when coordinating with the EOC:
• Providing services to community members in need
• Providing information to the EOC that helps response partners better understand impacted
communities and unmet needs
