Emergencies and natural disasters can be a part of life: tornados, fires, and flooding are among the many. Although these risks cannot be eliminated, the degree to which we are affected by them relates to how well we have prepared for them.
A good home emergency plan lends itself to protect you and your family against all disasters. Take the time now, to research your options, prepare a plan, stock up on emergency supplies, get trained, and be ready.
During an emergency, Pope Couny's primary duty is to ensure public safety and restore services as soon as possible. In any natural disaster, Pope County resources are directed toward evacuating residents as necessary, coordinating with police, fire, and medical emergencies, maintaining utility services, traffic control, and clearing streets of water or debris.
After the emergency is over, our focus will turn to recovery and restoring services back to normal operation.
Although no one can predict when the next emergency will occur or what it will be, Pope County strives to be a community that educates it’s citizens to become well-prepared for any unexpected event.
