How and What do I Submit to Emergency Management for Review?
We have created a workbook for these facilities in Harnett County to complete that acts as a guide for the development of emergency plans at your facility and will be used as a crosswalk during the review. You should submit your plans to Harnett County Emergency Management by emailing the required items to hcem@harnett.org . When submitting your emergency plans, you are required to submit the following items:
- The facility emergency plans (Click here for Free Emergency Plan Template)
- Completed copy of the planning criteria workbook (Click Here for the Workbook)
- Facility Fire Plan that has been reviewed by the Harnett County Fire Marshal's Office
What Happens After I Submit My Plan for Review?
Upon completion of the review, we will send back a copy of the workbook with any suggestions or comments. Harnett County Emergency Management does not approve any plans, however, our goal is to help you provide the best possible emergency plans for your residents.
