The All-Hazards Plan is the work of the staff of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management Office (CMEMO) and other city and county departments.  

The current plan, an update from past plans, provide improvements in the areas of accountability, liability, and the enhancement of public safety and welfare. 

The All Hazards plan can be used in isolated incidents or for emergencies that affect an entire municipality or multi-county area. The flexibility of the plan allows it to be used in a field operation setting without the activation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or in harmony with EOC operations.

In summary, the All Hazards Plan provides a guide for use in emergency operations which does not eliminate the quality of personal initiative which is often necessary in the mitigation of a rapidly evolving incident. The plan maintains a sense of continuity between elected representatives, city/county management and emergency response organizations which is imperative in a disaster/emergency setting that threatens the safety and well-being of the community.
