EBCI Emergency Management

EBCI Emergency Management The Emergency Management Office is responsible for creating plans through which communities reduce their vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters.

Disaster management does not avert or eliminate the threat; instead it focuses on creating plans to decrease the impact of disasters. Failure to create a plan could lead to damage of assets, human mortality, and lost revenue. The EM Office is also the central point of contact for requesting assistance, supplies, and equipment from the state or federal levels during times of disaster. By utilizing

the four phases of Emergency Management (Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery) EM can respond more effectively and efficiently to the citizens of the Qualla Boundary during times of emergencies and disaster.
