"That was mandated by the government, to do a SARA Title 3 program," said county administrator Ron Robinson."That was to cover emergency management responsibilities for the county.It was an emergency operation plan for the county.I was sheriff at the time and I can tell you that took a lot of hard work to put that together.Ellsworth Everest was the man in charge at that time of what we called civil defense back then.It's been changed since then to cover emergency management." Quite a few people from around the county helped put the plan into place back then.It was adopted by the county commissioners in 1988 and has been in place since then.
