SUBJECT: WORKSHOP re: Post Pandemic Survey Results and After Action and
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The Department of Emergency Management, in conjunction with a number of community partners including
but not limited to Jefferson County Public Health and Jefferson Healthcare, activated the Emergency
Operations Center in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in March of 2020. After a response that lasted
over two years, DEM is conducting an After-Action Review of the EOC response to determine areas of
strength and areas for improvement, as well as recommend actions to become better prepared for the next
pandemic or catastrophic event.
ANALYSIS:
DEM has drafted our initial list of improvement areas and recommended actions based on a survey
distributed to our partners, as well as a number of conversations with partners, EOC responders, and
volunteers.
RECOMMENDATION:
A 60 minute workshop to brief the BOCC on DEM's preliminary findings regarding our COVID After
Action survey.
