Audrain County’s Emergency Management Agency is responsible for effectively implementing Audrain County’s Emergency Management program, which includes developing guidelines and plans for all disasters, including natural and man-made emergencies. Our office is responsible for organizing and participating in related training and facilitates communications between local, state, and federal agencies involved in emergency response and recovery.

The Emergency Management Director serves as a Point of Contact (POC) during and after disasters and acts as a liaison between the County, the State, and any Federal agencies that respond. This office is also in charge of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) if activated during a disaster, and the Director acts as Chief of Staff to the County Commissioners.

We are available to assist the public in disaster education and look forward to opportunities to speak to schools, civic groups, and other organizations. We offer assistance to all agencies and political subdivisions throughout Audrain County, including law enforcement, communications, fire departments, emergency medical services, public health, industry, and small businesses, to develop and test their Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) and identify and procure a wide variety of grant funding opportunities for facilities, materials, equipment, and training.

The Audrain County Emergency Management Agency participates in countywide, regional, and statewide drills annually to test the effectiveness of the Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP).

Emergency preparedness is vitally important. We will add various links to helpful websites for preparing and maintaining your safety during an emergency.
