City of Homer Emergency Plans
The City of Homer maintains a number of emergency plans to ensure that the City is ready to respond to a variety of threats and hazards.
However, it is not enough that our City has a plan. We as individuals must also prepare ourselves, our homes, our workplaces and our neighborhoods.
Imagine that you have no electricity, no gas, no water, and no telephone service. Imagine that all of the streets and shops are closed and you are without any kind of help or emergency services. What will you do until help arrives?
The additional information, ideas and resources provided under Emergency Information on this site are to help you personally prepare for and respond to disaster.
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)
The EOP is an all-hazards plan describing how the City will mitigate, prepare for and respond to natural and manmade emergencies in an effective, efficient, and timely manner.
Based on the National Incident Management System, when an emergency occurs, the EOP calls for the establishment of the Incident Command System (ICS) and the development and activation of an Incident Action Plan (IAP).
The whole community is necessary for successful implementation of this plan. Therefore, the EOP also describes the coordination, roles and responsibilities of responding public and private sector organizations, making optimum use and integration of skilled personnel, emergency facilities, and emergency equipment across all levels of government and the private sector
The EOP will be activated whenever there is a disaster emergency that could significantly threaten human health, property or the environment. Upon declaration of a disaster emergency, the designated person responsible for disaster emergency management is authorized to commit the resources necessary to carry out the provisions of this plan.
All-Hazard Mitigation Plan
This mitigation plan describes the City’s natural and human-made hazards and provides steps to take before a disaster that can help reduce its impacts.
The process of developing the plan brings community members and local and regional leaders together to understand risks from natural hazards and to develop long-term strategies that will reduce the impacts of future events on people, property, the environment and our economy.
Our All-Hazard Mitigation Plan is incorporated into the Kenai Peninsula Borough and State of Alaska strategies and is required for Homer to be eligible for federal hazard and flood mitigation grant funding both before and after a Presidentially-declared disaster.
