Emergency Management Agency

Grant County Emergency Management Agency (EMA)

Welcome! The Grant County EMA helps our community prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. We coordinate disaster response, assist with emergency planning, and promote public safety across the county.

We focus on preparedness for:

  • Natural disasters (floods, storms, drought)
  • Health threats (pandemics, mass casualty)
  • Facility-specific emergencies (schools, nursing homes, chemical sites)
  • Transportation and agricultural incidents

Visit the Planning & Preparedness tab for practical tips to protect your family and property.
