Emergency Management Defined
Emergency Management is the coordination of local responders, state and federal agencies, and volunteer organizations. An Emergency Management program enhances protection of the community and its citizens when disaster strikes through planning, preparedness, training, and education.
Responsibilities
The Kingman County Emergency Manager coordinates and advises local officials before, during, and following disasters. The Emergency Manager raises awareness of potential and existing problems and suggests solutions based on the needs of the community and the resources available. During times of crises, the Emergency Manager keeps local officials apprised of situations so they can make the best decisions possible for response and recovery efforts.Public education and citizen preparedness play a large role. It is important that the public be aware of the power they possess to take care of themselves first, before a greater response is needed.
Preparedness
No matter who you are or where you live, you can be sure that some type of weather is going to happen every day. It may be sunny skies and balmy breezes or a cool, crisp day in the fall. But there always lurks the potential for severe weather:- Hail
- High winds
- Sleet
- Snowstorms
- Thunderstorms
- Tornadoes
Man-Made Disasters
Although most of the disasters we face in Kansas are weather-related, there is also the possibility of a man-made disaster:- A toxic chemical spill
- Biological threats
- Explosions
