About Sargent County Emergency Management

The Sargent County Emergency Management office provides a countywide system for effective mitigation, preparation for, response to, and recovery from, manmade or natural disasters. The office prepares and maintains a plan which provides for alerting and informing the public, assessing the situation, activating volunteers, supporting emergency response, and restoration and recovery.

Planning: This phase develops the plans used by communities during an emergency or disaster. It looks at the hazards within a community to determine the risks that could impact the population. Based upon the hazards and risks, a generic plan is developed which can be followed in any emergency or disaster. It provides a guide for all responding agencies, both public and private. Some common hazards planned for within Sargent County are flooding, tornadoes, winter storms, chemical storage and transportation accidents.

Mitigation: If certain hazards or risks can be minimized prior to the emergency or disaster, it can significantly reduce or eliminate the necessary response. An example of mitigation is building an earthen dike to protect the community from flooding.
