Pierce County, WI Emergency Management

10/12/2026

Last week, Pierce County’s Emergency Management Director and Field Director traveled to Michigan to participate in the 2026 Midwest Region V Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Meeting with colleagues from FEMA Region V and emergency preparedness partners from across the Midwest.

The two-day meeting provided an opportunity to share ideas, learn from others, discuss best practices, and strengthen the partnerships that are essential during an emergency.

Radiological emergency preparedness requires ongoing training, collaboration, and coordination among many agencies and organizations. Opportunities like this help us bring valuable knowledge and new ideas back to Pierce County to continue improving our readiness to respond when it matters most.

We appreciate the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and work alongside our regional partners to keep our communities prepared! 🤝
