Emergency Management
Hughes/Stanley County Emergency Management
The mission of the Hughes County Emergency Management is to create a community organization to reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters. This is done by coordinating and integrating all activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the threatened or actual natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other human caused disasters.
- Preparedness-Planning for an emergency or disaster, and then working to increase resources and the ability to respond effectively.
- Response-Actions cover the period of time shortly before, during and after a disaster. These activities are conducted to save lives and minimize damage.
- Recovery-The period when the immediate threat to life and property has passed. Activities such as cleanup, repair, and restoration become a priority.
- Mitigation-Any action "determined to be cost-effective which substantially reduces the risk of future damage, hardship, loss, or suffering in any area affected by major disaster".
