Emergency Management Preparedness

Mitigation - Mitigation programs can be applied towards parts of the facilities that were damaged by the disaster as a mitigation measure to directly reduce the potential future of a similar disaster damage to the eligible facility. (Exceptions apply)

Preparedness - Disaster preparedness begins with us as a whole, community wide, as well as individually. Preparedness encompasses winter weather, flooding, earthquakes, hurricanes, landslides and debris flow, tsunamis, power outages, financial preparedness, youth preparedness, receiving national as well as local emergency alerts and notifications.


Response - Evacuation warning, search and rescue, providing immediate assistance, transport, provision of medical supplies, emergency protective measures, barricades, sheltering, removal of life-threatening debris, etc. Essentially meeting the basic needs of life and eliminating threat to it, until a more permanent and viable solution can be provided.


Recovery - Disaster Recovery aims to resume critical functions after a disaster as quickly as possible. It includes in most cases Individual Assistance and Public Assistance in order to restore the community to its pre-disaster condition, if it qualifies for a declaration after preliminary damage assessments have been concluded.
