The Emergency Management Department is tasked with the discipline of dealing with – and avoiding – risks within our community.

This Department has four phases for managing emergencies.

• Members work with the community to identify hazards and take steps to prevent hazards before developing into disasters.
• Coordinate with area stakeholders to plan, organize, train and equip them so that everyone is  better prepared for disasters.
• Mobilize necessary emergency services to deal with the emergency up to and including a national response.
• Assist the community in the recovery and restoration of the affected area so it is returned to it’s original state.

Roscommon County Emergency Management is committed to serve the community in time of disaster.
