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.

It was a busy day for the Delaware County Emergency Management team. We started off by hosting our Central Sector partners for the Emergency Management Association of Ohio virtual Fall Conference. We always enjoy educational and networking opportunities with fellow EMs to stay current on trends and topics affecting our field.

The team finished the evening with a little outreach, hosting a booth at First Friday in downtown Delaware. Thanks to all who stopped by!
