Members of the Emergency Management Office (EMO) take courses, update training, participate in and/or host emergency exercises, and frequently collaborate & network with colleagues. All of this ensures there is experience, education, awareness, and preparedness.
Typically this is done behind the scenes; however, residents have recently started to ask about it. And of course, all of this was done long before now, but moving forward, we can keep you in-the-know!
