               Comprehensive emergency management plans shall be adopted by resolution of the board
               of commissioners. In the preparation of these plans as they pertain to county organization,
               it is intended that the services, equipment, facilities, and personnel of all existing
               departments and agencies shall be utilized to the fullest extent. All departments
               and agencies have the responsibility to perform the functions assigned by these plans
               and be in a current state of readiness at all times. These plans shall have the effect
               of law whenever an emergency, as defined in this chapter, has been declared.
