~ Emergency Management ~
Phil Keevert, coordinator. 740-472-2144, 740-472-0220 or Fax 740-472-0054. FEMA: (800) 621-FEMA or (800) 621-3362 In Ohio, emergency management is built on local response. The Ohio Revised Code requires each county to establish an emergency management agency. The local agency is required to plan for and coordinate the response to emergencies at the local level. Local elected officials and safety services personnel are the first line of responders except for hazard specific tasks assigned directly to the state, like radiological exposure assessment. The mission statement addresses mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery functions at every level before, during and after a disaster. When an emergency exceeds the capacity of local response agencies, the county emergency management agency requests the assistance of the Ohio EMA. If the disaster exceeds the resources of the state, then the governor can request aid from the federal government through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Natural disasters, such as flashflooding, have resulted in six local declarations of a state of emergency, four of which have resulted in Presidential declarations in which the President has responded by declaring Monroe County a federal disaster area and freeing up money for recovery efforts since January 1996. Monroe County has been declared a federal disaster area ten times since 1964 either from flooding, high winds or winter storms. The Ohio EMA is dedicated to fostering a partnership between all agencies charged with preparing, responding, recovery and mitigating to an emergency. This partnership will allow the entire emergency management community - local, state and federal to respond to all hazards affecting Ohio citizens.
