The Office of Emergency Services (OES) coordinates the overall county response to disasters. OES is responsible for:

  • Alerting and notifying appropriate agencies when a disaster strikes
  • Coordinating all agencies that respond
  • Ensuring resources are available and mobilized in times of disaster
  • Developing plans and procedures for response to and recovery from disasters
  • Developing and providing preparedness materials for the public.

OES staffs the Operational Area Emergency Operations Center (a central facility which provides regional coordinated emergency response), and also acts as staff to the Unified Disaster Council (UDC).
