In the event of a disaster, Delaware County Emergency Management coordinates the county’s resources and agencies to reduce the impact it has on the county.

 

The Delaware County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management’s main goal is to save lives, prevent injuries, and protect property and the environment from “All Hazards” – Natural, Manmade, or Terrorism.

We strive reduce or eliminate the effects of day to day emergencies and large scale disasters in Delaware County through preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery.

We achieve our goals through the four phases of emergency management (Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery), conducting training and training exercises, and through education.

This exercise evaluates our county's hazardous materials plan and will bring together many of our partner agencies to work through a simulated incident. Grady Memorial Hospital and the Delaware Community Center YMCA are participating with us, so you may see some increased activity at those locations - it is just a drill, and no need for concern. Stay tuned for pictures after the event tomorrow! ... See MoreSee Less

We are very appreciative of ALL of our law enforcement partners and their service to the residents of Delaware County. ... See MoreSee Less
