The Office of Emergency Management is under the direction of the Emergency Manager who coordinates all functions.
The main function of disaster and emergency preparedness is to ready a community for potential disaster, and then reduce its effects and impacts after the event occurs. Emergency Management is comprised of four key components: Preparedness, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. This four-part concept was adopted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES).
