The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is a framework that provides guidance for coordinated preparedness, response, and recovery activities in the county. It sets forth lines of authority and organizational relationships and shows how all actions will be coordinated. The Emergency Operations Plan is updated every 4 years, in accordance with state requirements.
The EOP describes procedures for how the county will organize in an emergency, including how departments and agencies will carry out various responsibilities and coordinate activities and resources. The plan identifies roles and responsibilities for each county department. The board approved the plan and it went into effect on March 31, 2022.
Updating the county's EOP for 2026
Clackamas County Disaster Management (CCDM) is currently revising the County's Emergency Operations Plan.
CCDM is actively seeking input on the plan, particularly from community organizations who participate in emergency response or support community members during a disaster. Community-based organizations (CBOs) and faith-based organizations (FBOs) who have historically worked with Clackamas County during disaster response can expect outreach from CCDM in the months ahead, inviting you to participate in individual interviews, focus groups and surveying. If you represent an organization that has not previously worked with Clackamas County, but you’d like to receive outreach from the county to provide feedback on the County’s EOP, please email our project manager, Francis Pastorelle at fpastorelle@clackamas.us.
What kind of feedback are we looking for
The workgroup responsible for the EOP update is looking for specific feedback about the plan or any of its sections. Examples might include:
- Are the roles and responsibilities outlined in the plan accurate?
- Do the organizations named in the plan have adequate resources to carry out these responsibilities?
- Do the planning assumptions and situation overview accurately portray the demographics and conditions in Clackamas County?
- Do the emergency support functions clearly describe the County's protocols?
- Have there been examples from past emergency activations that highlight gaps in the emergency plan?
While we value general feedback about the county’s approach to emergency management or feedback about past disaster response, these comments or suggestions may fall outside the scope of this plan update.

The development of the Clackamas County Wildfire Protection Plan is a collaborative effort among local, state and federal agencies as well as community members that have a vested interest in reducing losses from wildfire events. The CCWPP meets the requirements set forth in the Healthy Forests Restoration Act and the National Fire Plan, while building upon the FEMA-approved Clackamas County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan.
