Emergency management professionalsKing County Office of Emergency Management works in partnership with cities, counties, state and federal agencies, community and other private organizations to develop a regional approach to emergency mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. We couldn't do this without the support and cooperation of leadership from our area's various jurisdictions and emergency management organizations. Thank you for all that you do to serve our citizens! We value your partnership and are committed to effective coordination of information, resources and services throughout our region.
King County Emergency Management plans and commitees
Planning is one of the most important activities in the "Preparedness Phase" of the four phases of emergency management - Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery. Planning is followed with training and exercising the plan to evaluate how well is works. The plans developed must be consistent with Federal and State laws as well as local ordinances. Typical emergency management plans identify a mission or purpose, organization responsibilities, and direction and control aspects. Appropriate personnel are trained to these plans and then the plans are evaluated usually through some type of training exercise, which results in making the appropriate modifications and revisions.
King County supports a number of programs aimed at responding to and preparing for regional and personal emergencies (click on highlighted text for more information):
