Responding and recovery from disaster is just a small part of functions of the Emergency Management Office. We are responsible for updates and revisions to the County Emergency Operations Plan, coordinating various exercises to test the plan, conducting public education, providing assistance to local jurisdictions and county agencies before, during and after disaster strikes, applying for State and Federal Grants, participating in on-going trainings in Emergency Management, and compiling periodic reports and reviews that need to be submitted to state offices.
Sibley County Emergency Management works closely with local, state and federal officials and cooperatively with neighboring jurisdictions, to better prepare for and respond to incidents ranging from tornadoes to terrorism to pandemics.
