Over 600 of Utah’s communities have been classified as “at risk” of wildfire. The safety of the citizens of any community and the protection of private property and community infrastructure is a shared responsibility between the citizens; the owner, developer or association; and the local, county, state and federal governments. The primary responsibility, however, remains with the local government and the citizen/owner.
Emergency Management and Preparedness
Draper City knows that being prepared for critical incidents such as wildfires, floods, earthquakes, and other public safety emergencies is crucial for a fast and effective response.
Emergency plans and access to resources guide the response and aim to ensure the best outcome for everyone involved.

Draper City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
The Draper City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) establishes the framework through which Draper City will respond to, recover from, prepare for, and mitigate against all hazards that threaten Draper City. Local government has primary responsibility of emergency management activities. When the emergency exceeds the local government’s capabilities to respond, assistance will be requested from neighboring jurisdictions, Utah County, Salt Lake County, and then the State of Utah. The Federal Government will aid the State when appropriate. This plan is based upon the concept that the emergency functions for municipal departments, functions or groups will generally parallel their normal day-to-day functions. To the extent possible, the same personnel and material resources will be employed in both cases.
Draper City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan - Logistics Annex
The Logistics Annex is a support document to the Draper City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and is designed to be used during the response and recovery phases of an emergency incident. This Annex is designed to be scalable and used during incidents with minimal to extensive operations. While it is difficult to accurately predict the location, frequency, and scale of an emergency or disaster, it is possible to plan for the coordinated distribution of supply and equipment to responders and the public during such incidents.
