Office of Emergency Management

The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has the responsibility of comprehensively planning for, responding to and recovering from emergencies and disasters that impact Delta County, including the cities of Cooper and Pecan Gap. The Delta County Office of Emergency Management's work is accomplished in partnership and collaboration with first responder agencies, as well as non-profit, private sector and government partners.

Mission Statement

We strive to provide proactive emergency management for our citizens, employers, and visitors that enhances their safety before, during, and following a disaster, minimizes property loss, damages and economic hardship, and facilitates the return to normalcy both in the short term and long term recovery. We will accomplish this by focusing on the four core components of a comprehensive emergency management program.

Preparedness

Response

Mitigation

Recovery

We will further our success by building and fostering relationships with all the departments, city officials, school officials, and stakeholders throughout the county as well with our regional partners that will be mutually beneficial for everyone involved without infringing upon the autonomy of each entity. It is through these partnerships that we will nurture an environment of trust, respect, cooperation, and coordination that will translate into success during all phases of emergency management.
