'emergency'

Emergency Management is charged with the coordination of 32 municipalities throughout the county and their local coordinators. Each municipality must have a workable emergency plan on file with the State and with this office. These plans are reviewed by the County Coordinator. Whenever there is an emergency like a major fire, tornado, flood, severe snow storm, severe thunderstorm, or a Hazmat incident, Emergency Management coordinates these emergencies, such as shelters and clean-up afterwards.
