Title
Disaster Plan - Approval
History
In 2008, the Cook County Emergency Management Agency (CCEMA) asked all municipalities to update their Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) using a template provided by the Cook County Emergency Management Agency.
In the past, emergency disaster plans were written to deal with the effect of one or more disaster situations. This new plan will focus on developing an emergency management system capable of operating in any type of emergency or disaster whether natural or man made.
We have worked in cooperation with all village departments, the Village Managers office, Klein Thorpe and Jenkins and the Orland Fire Protection District to review and finalize the emergency operations plan.
Upon approval by the Village Board, CCEMA wishes to present the Village of Orland Park, Orland Park Police Department, and ESDA with a certificate of accreditation in recognition of our efforts to adopt this plan.
On August 10, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Safety Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
