Emergency Preparedness and Response

The Emergency Preparedness Program works cooperatively with local, state, and federal agencies to prepare Queen Anne’s County for both natural and man-made disasters. Our mission is to ensure the community is ready through written planning, training exercises, and public education. Knowing what to do, who to call, and how to help in an emergency is your best defense.
