Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is responsible for developing and maintaining a current state approved emergency operations plans. Its purpose and function is also to coordinate and assist all departments and agencies called on during a declared emergency. The group is activated during large storms that can cause damage, large fires, severe medical emergencies, hazardous material releases and other large scale events

How does OEM fit into the overall Emergency Services Plan?
Every municipality and county in the state is required by law to have an approved emergency management plan. The plan considers all aspects of emergency services. The Local Emergency Planning Council (LEPC) identifies which hazards endanger their community and plan accordingly. LEPC's usually consist of traditional emergency personnel such as police, fire, and EMS, as well as non traditional emergency personnel such as Health Department, Public Works, Engineering or Building Department, School board members, Finance personnel etc.
