2022 EOP Reviews
In accordance with Government Code 8593.2, subdivision (c) and Government Code 8610, subdivision (c), Cal OES has begun reviewing County Emergency Operations Plans (EOPS).
The 10 counties selected for review in 2022 have been notified. Those counties will submit their EOP and a completed EOP crosswalk to their Cal OES Regional Branch.
As required by Government Code 8593.2, subdivision (a), any county that updates its EOP must also submit its EOP to Cal OES. To allow time for review, possible access and functional needs consultation, and incorporation of feedback, counties should submit their updated EOP to Cal OES 90 days prior to planned approval and adoption. EOP updates should also be submitted (with completed crosswalk) to their Cal OES Regional Branch.
Updated EOP Crosswalk
The EOP Crosswalk has been revised to incorporate recent legislation. However, it is still in draft form as the crosswalk is tested and improved. For a copy of the draft crosswalk, contact the Community Planning Unit at communityplanning@caloes.ca.gov.
