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's Fan Drive Friday Delaware County, and we are over halfway through the campaign to ensure our at-need residents have a means to cool off this summer. So far, your generosity has assisted 172 families, but the summer is not over, and the need remains.
Please consider making a donation at any of our libraries, fire stations, EMS stations throughout the county, or at SourcePoint: Thrive after 55. You can also donate on the People In Need, Inc. Amazon Wishlist via the QR code on the flyer. Please keep those fans coming! ... See MoreSee Less

August is National Emergency Management Awareness Month, a time to recognize the professionals who work year-round to help people, businesses, and institutions prepare for and recover from disasters. Disasters are inevitable, but catastrophes are not. Emergency management brings partners together to solve complex problems, reduce harm, and restore stability during emergencies. Emergency management isn’t just about reacting; it’s also about planning in advance, coordinating under pressure, and developing lasting resilience.

🟦 Dep. Director Scott Stewart
🟦 Planning Coordinator Jecy Weber
🟦 EM Specialist Yvonne Strassmann
