Emergency Management
The unit coordinates all four phases of emergency preparedness. The four phases are: Mitigation (efforts to minimize the impact of a disaster), Preparedness (planning/training), Response (the response and coordination of resources to an incident), and Recovery (restoration of services as quickly as possible). The Emergency Management Coordinators represent the County of Platte on local, regional and national committees and issues relating to emergency management and homeland security.
