Franklin County adopts employee policy for emergencies


Franklin County commissioners Tuesday adopted a new policy for county workers during emergencies.

The new policy provides guidelines for how employees at the road camp and the landfill can be used when the county declares a state of emergency as it does whenever a hurricane threatens the area.

Basically the policy will require each county department to designate workers as either department essential or Emergency Operations Center Essential.

Department essential workers would continue to work their regular jobs while Emergency Operations Center Essential workers would shift over to help at the EOC.

The policy will guarantee that there are enough people to staff the EOC doing necessary disaster work like manning phones, overseeing volunteers, or helping with damage assessment and recovery operations.
