What is Emergency Management?
Emergency management is the discipline of preparing for and responding to crisis situations or disasters, both man made and natural. An effective emergency management agency works closely with internal and external stakeholders such as staff, residents, government agencies, community-based organizations, and others to ensure the community is ready to deal with any emergency situation it is faced with. It performs an important support role for City departments such as coordinating disaster training, managing volunteer and community outreach/preparedness initiatives, disseminating critical emergency information to stakeholders, liaising with local, state and federal agencies, and other functions.
The key to surviving any emergency is being prepared!
