OUR MISSION:
Natural hazards are an
inevitable and unfortunate aspect of life. Floods,
hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, earthquakes,
wildfires and other hazardous events are natural and
dangerous events that are beyond our control. The
aftermath of these hazardous events is visible in the
ecological environment: fire can destroy forests,
tornadoes can uproot trees, earthquakes can alter the
landscape. The natural environment is surprisingly
capable of restoration from the forces of nature, and
can restore habitat and restore habitat and ecosystems
in time for the next generation of plant and animal life
to begin anew. Emergency Management coordinates and
responds to incidents of terrorism involving the use of
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or
explosive (CBRNE) weapons; for the protection of
critical infrastructure and prevention of terrorist
incidents.
The work of Emergency
Management includes a four phase approach:
-
Preparedness
-
Response
-
Recovery
-
