Emergency Management

During a major disaster or emergency, MCEMA coordinates private and public sector resources to support disaster response and recovery from the County Emergency Operations Center. In the event that the incident exceeds local resource capabilities, MCEMA will request specific resource assistance from our state or federal partners. After a major disaster, MCEMA will seek a federal disaster declaration to aid disaster victims and public sector response and recovery efforts.
Major emergencies or disasters from natural causes include snow or ice storms, floods, tornadoes, as well as the serious threat of a major earthquake along the New Madrid or Wabash Valley Seismic zones. Man-made causes include hazardous materials at fixed facilities or along our major highways, railroads, pipelines and rivers.
