Emergency Operations for Lebanon

Emergency Operations Plan Phases

The City of Lebanon's Emergency Operations Plan is an all-hazard plan that describes how the City of Lebanon will organize and respond to emergencies and disasters in the community. It is based on, and is compatible with, Federal, State of Oregon, and other applicable laws, regulations, plans, and policies, including the National Response Framework, State of Oregon Emergency Management Plan, and the Linn County Emergency Operations Plan.

Response to emergency or disaster conditions in order to maximize the safety of the public and to minimize property damage is a primary responsibility of government. It is the goal of the City of Lebanon that responses to such conditions are conducted in the most organized, efficient, and effective manner possible. To aid in accomplishing this goal, the City of Lebanon has informally adopted the principles of the National Incident Management System, including the Incident Command System and the National Response Framework.

Consisting of a Basic Plan, Functional Annexes aligned with the Linn County Emergency Support Functions, and Incident Annexes, this Emergency Operations Plan provides a framework for coordinated response and recovery activities during a large-scale emergency. The plan describes how various agencies and organizations in the City of Lebanon will coordinate resources and activities with other Federal, State, local, tribal, and private-sector partners.
