Village of Buffalo Grove
Emergency Operations Plan
Last Updated: October 2018
The objective of the Village of Buffalo Grove’s Emergency Operations Plan is to enable the Village to
save the maximum number of lives in the event of a major emergency or disaster, minimize injuries,
protect property, preserve functioning of local government, and maintain and support economic
activities essential for the survival and eventual recovery from the emergency or disaster.
In the past, emergency and disaster plans were written to deal with the effects of one or more disaster
situations. It is now felt that all emergencies and disaster situations have certain commonalties. This
plan focuses on developing an emergency management system capable of operating in any type of
emergency or disaster whether natural, technological or civil. The plan is revised and approved by the
Lake County on a biennial basis and is updated on a continuous basis to reflect changing circumstances.
Due to the sensitive nature of the information contained within this plan, the Village is unable to provide
the general public with a complete, unredacted copy of the plan.
