Hamilton County Emergency Management (HCEM) is a county public safety department that ensures the county is prepared for emergencies and disasters and provides coordination and support when they happen. HCEM insists that all communities should be prepared for many hazards, such as severe weather, chemical or hazardous materials incidents, floods, dam failures, earthquakes, and many more.
HCEM works with cities, towns, large corporations, non-profits, and other groups to build plans on how they all work together when bad things happen. HCEM achieves this by working with stakeholders to build and maintain comprehensive plans.
