Emergency Management

Emergency Operations Center is at a Level III: Monitoring/Normal Conditions

View All

The Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management is within the Public Works Division. Our principle responsibilities are in supporting the safety of our citizens and visitors, protection of our infrastructure, as well as our environmental and cultural resources, and assisting the community in recovery efforts after an incident occurs. We seek to promote safer, less vulnerable communities with the capacity to cope with hazards and disasters. Achieving this is only accomplished by embracing the Whole Community approach, in which emergency management engages business, government at all levels, nonprofit sectors to integrate the needs, capabilities and resources of the communities in all stages of an incident.

Hazard Mitigation Plan

The Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan(PDF, 11MB) was written to identify the various hazards that impact communities within Yavapai County. It also assess the vulnerability and risk posed by those hazards to community-wide human and structural assets to develop future mitigation strategies.

Emergency Operations Plan

Our Emergency Operations Plan serves as an all-hazard regional plan that describes how Yavapai County will organize and respond to emergency events. It describes the coordination for resources and activities for large-scale events.
