LEPC

SDCL 33-15-26 County Emergency Management Organizations, requires “Each organized county of this state shall establish a local organization and develop an emergency plan for emergency management in accordance with the state emergency management plan and program.” The Davison County Office of Emergency Management is responsible for the coordination of the Davison County LEPC, which meets the second Wednesday of each month @ 10:30 A.M. in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at the Davison County Courthouse. The main purpose of the LEPC is to bring representatives together from various government, private, and non-profit agencies on a monthly basis; in an effort to address possible emergency situations. It is also an opportunity to form professional relationships among agencies to increase cooperation, coordination, and interactions that will be necessary during major incidents. The LEPC is also the lead on development of the Davison County 2021 Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan, which addresses areas in the county that could be addressed to mitigate future damage.

A Tabletop, Functional, or a Full-Scale Exercise is conducted each year.  In 2023 and 2024 Davison County participated in a statewide exercise. The last local only exercise was in 2022, which was flooding. You can view the ExPlan, MSEL and AAR below:
