Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Preparedness
Gauges the County's level of preparedness against man-made, natural, and pandemic type hazards.
Demonstrates the County's commitment to preparing for emergency situations.
High - Arapahoe County is the sole author and contributor to each emergency plan.
The Emergency Preparedness measure is in its third year. Baseline data from 2017 through 2021 established appropriate targets. Performance is measured for man-made, natural, and pandemic-related hazards in 3 ways: (1) planning, (2) resources, and (3) execution. While performance remained consistent from 2022 to 2023, many new initiatives were implemented which will set the County up for success in the future.
Some examples, while not exhaustive, are outlined below:
-
Adopted new wildfire preparedness plan
- Authored a new County fair action plan
- Upgraded two all-hazard rescue equipment for natural disasters
- Added a new protective armor vehicle for the Sheriff's Office
