Emergency Management
Daniel Gellert, Coordinator

The Emergency Management Division  assists the cities, villages and towns coordinate all emergency management and hazardous materials activities throughout the entire County.  Emergency Management is a continuous cycle of Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery from emergencies or disasters and relies on all levels of governement and non-government coordination to work together to respond efficiently  and effectively.  The department develops the countywide Emergency Operations Plan, conducts preparedness exercises and assists in disaster situations.  The Department manages the mandated “Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act,” oversees the functions of the Local Emergency Planning Committee, the HyperReach Emergency Notification System, and maintains the county’s hazardous materials inventories.
