A Municipal Emergency Operations Plan (MEOP), as adopted by
resolution of the Common Council, has been developed to provide procedures
for the government of the City of Muskego to respond to various types
of emergencies or disasters that affect the community. It provides
a link to procedures that will be used by county government since
the City of Muskego is part of the county emergency management program.
This municipal plan is to be used in conjunction with the Waukesha
County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The municipal plan will be
maintained in accordance with current standards of the Waukesha County
EOP and in accordance with the municipal government. Review of this
municipal plan shall be accomplished concurrently with the county
plan.
Several types of hazards pose a threat to the lives, property
or environment in Waukesha County. These hazards are outlined in the
Waukesha County Hazard Analysis. A copy of this analysis is located
in the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Hazard analysis assists
in the assessment process in determining the level of risk an emergency
poses as well as the level and scope of response necessary.
