The Lane County Emergency Management program's purpose is to increase the County’s resiliency and to increase its ability to respond and recover from the hazards that threaten it. This is done through mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

Mitigation: Any action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards. The term is sometimes used in a stricter sense to mean cost-effective measures to reduce the potential for damage to a facility or facilities from a disaster event.

Preparedness: Establishing the plans, training, exercises, and resources necessary to achieve readiness for all hazards, including WMD incidents.

Response: Duties and services to preserve and protect life and property as well as provide services to the surviving population

Recovery:Emergency actions dedicated to the continued protection of the public or promoting the resumption of normal activities in the affected area.

Functions of the Emergency Management program include:

Hazard Analysis
Capability Assessment
Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) Development
Functional Annex Development
