Colleton County Fire-Rescue

Emergency Management Division - What is OpCon?

OpCon is Colleton County's Operational Condition and there are three levels as described below:

A disaster or emergency situation is likely.  The Colleton County Emergency Operations Center and Emergency Operations Plan may be partially or fully activated.

OpCon 1

A major disaster or emergency is occurring or is imminent (which is affecting Colleton County - i.e. transportation, communications, etc.).  The Colleton County Emergency Operations Center is fully activated and this is the highest response level.
