LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services invites community members to review and provide feedback on the revised Lake County Operational Area Emergency Operational Plan, or EOP, during the open public review period.

The comment period runs from Dec. 3 to Dec. 30 at 5 p.m.

This is an important opportunity for residents, business owners, community organizations and other stakeholders to help shape how Lake County prepares for, responds to and recovers from emergencies and disasters.

The EOP serves as the central framework for coordinating emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts across the Lake Operational Area.

It outlines critical roles, responsibilities, and procedures to manage emergencies effectively and ensure public safety.

The plan facilitates multi-jurisdictional coordination and includes processes for activating the emergency operations center, or EOC, during emergencies.

While the EOP sets the overall structure and operational framework, its Annexes provide detailed, function-specific, and hazard-specific guidance.

This review period focuses on the base plan, with current annexes under review and new ones in development.

To review the EOP and complete a brief survey designed to make feedback submission easy, please visit https://www.lakesheriff.com/about/oes/plans.

Officials said public input is invaluable in ensuring the EOP reflects the needs and priorities of our community.
