Emergency Management

Mission Statement

The mission of the Emergency Management Office is to support emergency responders and our citizens in their effort to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies and disasters.

Focus

Our primary focus is on maintaining an "all hazards" approach to emergency preparedness, to help ensure that we are prepared and able to respond quickly and efficiently regardless of the "type" of event we face.

Duties

We work toward preventing and to minimize the impact of the hazards that do affect Cass County. This requires an ongoing commitment to bring updated training and equipment to the county, pursue grants and other funding opportunities, and maintain and develop resources to support not only our emergency response disciplines, but public service agencies, businesses, residents, and visitors in their individual efforts to prepare for hazards we face.
