About Us
The Community Development Department coordinates emergency management
operations in the City of Cottage Grove. In the event of an emergency,
the Community Development Department will coordinate between
responsible local and regional agencies, including the City of Cottage Grove Police Department, South Lane County Fire and Rescue District, City of Cottage Grove Public Works Department, Lane County Emergency Management,
the local Red Cross chapter, the South Lane School District, local
utilities, and others. The City's new Emergency Operations Plan
establishes the parameters for this coordination.
Emergency Operations Plan
The City of Cottage Grove Emergency Operations Plan identifies various
hazards which may impact Cottage Grove and the prevention,
mitigation, response and recovery procedures the City would follow in
an emergency. The procedures outlined in this plan are designed to
enhance the protection of lives, property and the environment through
effective use of City and community resources. The basic plan
with annexes is designed to identify responsibilities and basic
functions of the City of Cottage Grove and cooperating agencies,
using the Incident Command System.
