INTRODUCTION <br />1.2 Scope <br />In this document, incidents include actual or potential emergencies or all- hazards events that <br />range from accidents and natural disasters to actual or potential terrorist attacks. They include <br />events wholly contained within a single jurisdiction and others that are catastrophic in nature. It <br />is not always obvious at the outset whether a seemingly minor event might be the initial phase of <br />a larger, rapidly growing threat. The EOP incorporates standardized organizational structures <br />that promote on -scene initiative, innovation, and sharing of essential resources drawn from all <br />levels of government, NGOs, and the private sector. Response must be quickly scalable, flexible, <br />and adaptable. The EOP is also intended to accelerate the assessment and response to incidents <br />that may require state or federal assistance. <br />Cabarrus County provides the following services: <br />• Emergency Medical Services <br />• Law Enforcement (Sheriff) <br />• Emergency Management/Fire Marshal <br />• Human Services <br />• Communications (E -911) <br />• Planning and Zoning Services (Building Inspections / Flood Damage Prevention) <br />• Finance <br />• Tax Administration <br />• Register of Deeds <br />• Cooperative Extension services <br />• Animal Control (Sheriff) <br />• Veterans Service <br />• Elections Administration <br />• Education / Public Instruction; School Buildings / Grounds <br />• Library <br />• Active Living and Parks (Senior Services) <br />• Landfill/Recycling <br />• Transportation Service <br />■ Economic Development <br />Cabarrus County provides additional services by contract or agreement with these outside <br />agencies or organizations: <br />• Cabarrus Health Alliance (public health services) <br />• Cardinal Innovations Healthcare Solutions (formerly Piedmont Behavioral Health; mental <br />health services) <br />CabarrusCou❑tyEOPBasicPla❑ — March 2014 AttachnleLl number 1 <br />F -6 Page 135 <br />
