Emergency Preparedness

The Panhandle’s Regional Emergency Preparedness Program is maintained in support of and in alignment with state and federal preparedness strategies. It is an all-hazard program intended to prepare the Panhandle to cope more effectively with all types of disasters, both man-caused and natural events. Under this program plans are developed to affect a concerted regional response to large-scale disasters and initiatives are undertaken to strengthen and equip regional response capabilities. The objective of the program is to enhance the region’s ability to detect, deter and respond to disasters with the overall goal of protecting the lives and property of Panhandle residents.
