| Morgan County Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security |
State and Federal laws require communities to have disaster service plans in place, and to test them
periodically. Testing in a full-scale mock disaster allows evaluation and illustrates any needed plan
adjustments. Tests often include the "unplanned" — such as downed bridges, blocked roadways, or
other complications. This sharpens needed skills for improvising under pressure.
The Morgan County Emergency Management Agency often acts as liaison with a variety of
governmental agencies, including:
• State and Federal Emergency Management Agencies — for training and support, and for
assisting during large-scale disasters.
• State and Federal Environmental Protection Agencies — for planning, compliance, and
emergency response to chemical releases/handling, as well as cleaning up of hazardous waste sites.
What Is Emergency Management
The Morgan County Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security main goal is to
save lives, prevent injuries, and protect property and the environment from “All Hazards” – Natural,
Man made, or Terrorism.
In the event of a disaster, we coordinate the county’s resources and agencies to reduce the impact it
has on the county. We strive to expedite the restoration of public services, the rehabilitation and
recovery of individuals and businesses, and to return the community back to normal.
We achieve our goals through the four phases of emergency management (Mitigation, Preparedness,
Response, and Recovery), conducting training and training exercises, and through education.
- Emergency Management: Organized analysis, planning, decision-making, and assignment of
available resources to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the effects of all
hazards.
- Mitigation: Refers to activities that are designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or
property, or lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of an incident. Mitigation
activities should be considered and started long before an emergency or disaster occurs.
| |||||||||||||||||
- Preparedness: Is the deliberate critical tasks and activities necessary to build, sustain, and
improve the operational capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from
domestic incidents. Preparedness includes plans, training, or other preparations made to save
lives and facilitate response and recovery operations.
- Response: Begins when an emergency event is imminent or immediately after an event
occurs. Response encompasses the activities that address the short-term, direct effects of an
incident. It also includes the execution of EOPs (Emergency Operation Plans) and of incident
mitigation activities designed to limit the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and
unfavorable outcomes.
- Recovery: The development, coordination, and execution of service- and site-restoration plans
for impacted communities and the reconstitution of government operations and services through
individual, private-sector, nongovernmental, and public assistance programs. Recovery
includes restoring economic activity and rebuilding community facilities and housing.
