Emergency Management is the process of coordinating available resources to deal with emergencies effectively, thereby saving lives, avoiding injury, and minimizing economic loss. We accept the responsibility to maintain an ongoing program of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. We coordinate Fire, Police, EMS, Public Works, Volunteers, and other groups involved in emergency activities. We conduct tours and plan updates of local SARA facilities.
