Emergency Management

Return to Top

This program administers the state all-hazard emergency management function. The program facilitates the preparedness of local governments, public agencies, organizations, businesses, and individuals for effective response to emergencies through a series of activities conducted before disasters strike. These activities are aimed at motivating precautionary actions to eliminate or reduce predictable damage. In addition, Emergency Management helps state and local authorities prepare for emergencies and disasters through planning, training, exercising, and mitigation activities.

The objectives are to: develop an ongoing partnership of local, state, federal, and private sector emergency managers that provides coordinated, comprehensive training of all personnel and agencies that have a responsibility during an emergency; regularly test emergency plans and the proficiency of all responders; provide on-going public education programs; and promote statewide hazard mitigation programs and projects that reduce the potential losses associated with natural and technological emergencies, such as floods, wild land fires, earthquakes, nuclear power plant incidents, chemical stockpiles, and other hazardous materials releases.
