August is Emergency Management Awareness Month!

What does emergency management do? Although our work is often most visible during an emergency, much of it happens long before—and continues well after—an incident occurs.

Lucas County Emergency Management Agency works with local jurisdictions, first responders, government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and community partners to:

• Identify hazards and reduce risks
• Develop and maintain emergency plans
• Coordinate training and exercises
• Coordinate resources during emergencies
• Support communities throughout recovery
• Keep the public informed through emergency communications, including Lucas County Alerts

Lucas County Alerts provides important emergency notifications and community information directly to residents. Sign up and select “Public Emergency Notifications” at:

https://LucasCountyAlerts.com

Emergency management is a year-round, collaborative effort focused on helping Lucas County prepare for, respond to, recover from, and reduce the effects of emergencies and disasters.

Working together, we help build a safer and more resilient Lucas County.
