Emergency Management is the process of mitigation, preparedness,
response, and recovery within a community or organization. Reducing
hazards and overall coordination for disasters are the key functions of
Emergency Management.
Effective emergency management relies on
integration of emergency plans at all levels of government and
non-government organizations.
What
Does Lincoln County Emergency Management Do?
Lincoln County Emergency Management is responsible for overall emergency
preparedness throughout the County. We update and maintain Lincoln
County’s emergency operations plans and strive to exercise these plans
on a regular basis. Community education and awareness of hazards in the
county are a high priority. We provide assistance to local jurisdictions
before, during, and after a disaster event. Lincoln County Emergency
Management works closely with the Minnesota Department of Public
Safety’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management as well
as our neighboring counties to ensure adequate resources are available
during disasters.
