This weekend, Piatt County EMA was proud to support our neighboring county by providing our Mobile Command Center for their Apple and Pork festival!

Our Mobile Command Center provides a centralized location for communication, coordination, and incident management, helping public safety personnel keep large community events safe and organized.

Emergency management doesn’t stop at County lines. We’re always glad to strengthen partnerships and support our neighboring communities.
