Emergency Management
Clay County Emergency Management provides an emergency management program to effectively mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from all types of major emergencies or disasters. We also work to educate and train Clay County citizens, responders, and governing officials so that a disaster’s impact on people, property, and communities is minimized.
The comprehensive emergency management program includes all four phases of emergency management:
- Mitigation
- Preparedness
- Response
- Recovery
