Douglas County Emergency Management Agency's Jason Casady and Douglas County Nebraska's Communications Director Leia Baez served as panelists for a recent Neighborhood Preparedness event, hosted by One Omaha.

The event was part of From the Ground Up, One Omaha’s speaker series that connects residents who want to create change with the relationships, resources, and information needed to build strong neighborhoods. In 2026, the series focuses on neighborhood emergency preparedness.

During the panel, Casady shared how emergency management coordinates response efforts across local, state, and federal agencies. Baez highlighted the importance of clear, timely communication during a crisis, encouraging residents to rely on trusted sources, verify information, and have multiple ways to receive alerts.

Both speakers reinforced the importance of community collaboration, encouraging neighbors to build relationships, share credible information, and prepare in advance so they can respond effectively when emergencies occur.
