What functions does the office do when there isn a disaster?
Responding and recovery from disaster is just a small part of functions of the Emergency Management Office. We are responsible for updates and revisions to the County Emergency Operations Plan, coordinating various exercises to test the plan, conduct public education, provide assistance to local jurisdictions and county agencies before, during and after disaster strikes, applying for State and Federal Grants, participate in on-going trainings in Emergency Management, compiling periodic reports and reviews that need to be submitted to state offices.
