*NEW FOR 2018* The Local Emergency Management Plan outlines new standards for local emergency management plans and will replace the LEOP for plan submission in 2019. Towns now have the option of submitting any format plan so long as the plan has all required elements and a completed adoption form. Templates are also available in both "long" and "short" format.
The Local Emergency Operations Plan allows individual communities to coordinate disaster response. LEOPs must be submitted to Regional Planning Commissions annually after town meeting day, but before May 1st.
