Haskell County commissioners approve emergency management disaster-recovery and continuity plan

Haskell County commissioners approved the county's Emergency Management Disaster Recovery Plan and a Continuity of Operations plan (listed in the meeting record as the "2526" plan). The plan establishes written procedures to restore emergency operations and identifies interim delegations of duties if primary officials are unavailable.

The emergency manager described the document as "a written plan in the event that something happens, how are we going to get emergency operations back up and going" and said it "lays out the steps in which we'll do that" and includes continuity provisions so "somebody else [can] fill those shoes" when necessary. Commissioners moved to approve the plan, and the motion was seconded. The transcript records affirmative votes from the commissioners present and the motion was recorded as approved.

The plan is intended to be reviewed at least annually; the emergency manager said the offices within the county department are expected to keep the plan on file and update it or review it yearly if no update is necessary. The meeting record lists the plan year as "2526"; the record does not clarify whether that is a typographical error or an intentional planning horizon.

No further implementation details, funding amounts, or delegated personnel names beyond the plan description were specified in the public record. The commissioners moved on to other agenda items after recording the approval.
