The Guadalupe County Office of Emergency Management
coordinates countywide preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts
before, during, and after disasters. Our mission is to help ensure Guadalupe
County is prepared to respond to emergencies of all types, including severe
weather, flooding, wildfires, hazardous materials incidents, public health
emergencies, and other natural or man-made disasters.
Emergency management is built on strong partnerships. We
work closely with local governments, public safety agencies, school districts,
hospitals, utility providers, volunteer organizations, private industry, state
agencies, and federal partners to develop comprehensive emergency plans,
coordinate resources, and support our communities during emergencies.
Through planning, training, exercises, public education,
and disaster recovery, we help build a stronger, safer, and more resilient
Guadalupe County.
