Fire & Emergency Response

Some events such as hurricanes, winter storms or tornadoes can't be prevented. It is very important to take some basic steps to be prepared for such events.


emo_logoREMO (Regional Emergency Management Organization) focuses on activities to be prepared in the event of an emergency in our area.




We are active in the areas of:

  • Monitoring emergency situations and weather warnings
  • Analyzing hazards that could affect our area
  • Developing plans and procedures for specific events
  • Supporting First Responders and Emergency Support Partners
  • Developing contact lists and resource databases for emergency response
  • Providing education materials for the public
  • Warning the public of potential events


Emergency Preparedness begins at home.

Individuals and families can prepare for emergencies in a number of ways:

  • Learn about hazards in our area
  • Have a 72 hour preparedness kit
  • Know what to do if there is an evacuation
