Emergency Preparedness

Regional Preparedness Planning

The 2008 Panhandle Regional Preparedness Plan was developed in response to Texas Executive Order RP57 which called for the development of regional response structures in each of the 24 planning regions in Texas. The plan provides a framework for preparing for and responding to catastrophic events in the Panhandle. It builds on the agency-to-agency mutual aid relationships that have served the region for years to create a multi-agency coordinated strategy for response to large-scale incidents. The main theme of the document is to provide support to local Incident Commanders as they direct the response to events in their community. The plan is developed, updated and maintained by the Panhandle Regional Emergency Management Advisory Committee.
