On February 24, 2009, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Internal Operations Committee the review and update of the County’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The EOP was last updated by the Emergency Services Policy Board (ESPB) in January 2006. The Office of the Sheriff reported to the IOC in July 2009 and the Committee recommended that emergency operations staff review the EOP quarterly and provide the Board of Supervisors members more frequent updates. In addition, the Committee noted that the EOP should be updated at least annually and the Office of the Sheriff should make the documents accessible by the public. The Plan update was scheduled to be considered by the ESPB in December 2009, after which time the IOC requested a follow up report. In January 2011, the ESPB approved the draft update of the EOP for review by the IOC and final approval by the Board of Supervisors. On June 20, 2011, the IOC received a presentation from the Office of the Sheriff on the updated EOP and directed county staff to schedule the proposed update on the Board of Supervisors' agenda as a short discussion item.
