REVIEW PROGRAM:
Roy Rudisill, Office of Emergency Management
Mr. Rudisill, Director of Emergency Management, has been with the department since 2005.
He has three staff members.
It is a state requirement that each county establish and maintain a disaster agency. This
involves designating an emergency manager for the jurisdiction; keeping current an approved
Emergency Operations Plan; the ability to operate an emergency operations center and
coordinate incident support and recovery.
The role of the emergency management agency is to develop and maintain an ongoing
program of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. They focus on
developing plans that integrate partner agencies, jurisdictions, non -governmental operations like
the Red Cross and Salvation Army, and private sector partners.
The department relies on state and federal grants. After the floods of 2013, FEMA offered
$10.1 million to public works for road and bridge repairs. The department requested FEMA
funding during Covid 19, primarily for personal protective equipment.
It has a Local Emergency Planning Committee, designated to help coordinate the planning for
responses to chemical facility incidences in Weld County. It also provides community outreach.
