Emergency Management


Kansas law requires every municipality and county to have a state approved Emergency Operations Plan, and to appoint an Emergency Management Coordinator.

The coordinator, in conjunction with local government, is responsible for coordinating the necessary actions to protect lives and property before, during and after times of disaster and/or emergency.
