When disaster strikes—like a wildfire, earthquake, flood, or other emergency—San Diego County needs a clear plan to keep people safe, protect property, and support our communities. The Emergency Operations Plan (Plan) is that guide. It explains how the County and all the cities within the county work together during disasters and major emergencies.

We are updating the Plan in 2025 and 2026, and your feedback is very important. It helps make sure the Plan reflects the needs, values, and priorities of everyone in San Diego County.

The Plan is updated every four years to include current risks, community needs, changes in how we respond, new tools and technology, and lessons learned from previous disasters.

Why Community Feedback Matters:
Emergencies affect everyone, but not equally. By participating in this process, you help:

  • Shape emergency response priorities
  • Identify service gaps and access barriers
  • Strengthen coordination across agencies and communities
  • Ensure your community is represented in emergency planning decisions

How You Can Participate:

  • Share your feedback
  • Review and comment on the draft plan
  • Suggest improvements
  • Join upcoming engagement activities
  • Ask questions

The Plan Update Will Consider:

  • Your feedback
  • How emergency alerts and public information are shared
  • Evacuation planning and accessible transportation
  • Emergency shelter and feeding services
  • Support for people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs
  • Coordination with community organizations and local businesses
