What We Do
Operating under the authority of the Ohio Revised Code, the Clark County EMA serves as the central hub for coordinating and overseeing all aspects of emergency management and disaster preparedness for Clark County and its diverse political subdivisions. We address a broad spectrum of potential threats, including natural and human-induced hazards. Emergency management is a dynamic and ever-evolving process. Each disaster scenario is unique in its cause and impact. At the core of this process is the crucial role played by the EMA. It's our responsibility to anticipate the unexpected and safeguard our community's well-being. We acknowledge that a government-centric approach is insufficient in the face of catastrophic incidents. The Whole Community approach to emergency management guides our actions. It emphasizes that the EMA is just one piece of a larger emergency management team. Collaboration and synergy are essential to meet the multifaceted needs of our entire community.
