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.
Happy Jug Day, Delaware County! The Delaware County Emergency Management team will activate the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in a Monitoring Phase from 11:00 AM until the end of the Little Brown Jug.
Every year, we staff the EOC to monitor activities, news, weather, and radio traffic from the fairgrounds and throughout the county. This helps us maintain a state of readiness and ensures we’re prepared to support our first responders when needed.
We’re joined by partners from other counties and the state, making this not only an operational effort but also a valuable training opportunity to strengthen coordination and interoperability.
It’s just another way we support our first responders and serve our community.
