OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES

Mission Statement: To protect life, property, and the environment by leading the development and implementation of a cooperative countywide plan for emergency preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery, drawing from all local, state, and federal resources.

What is the Office of Emergency Services (OES)?

OES is comprised of full-time and part-time emergency managers responsible for countywide disaster planning, mitigation, response, and recovery activities. OES staff coordinate preparedness and response activities with all County agencies, ten cities, public and private organizations, and community and civic groups. In the event of a disaster, OES is responsible for operating the County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC), which supports field operations and liaisons with all public and private disaster response agencies at all levels of government.
