What is Emergency Management?
Emergency management is the process of preventing, preparing for, mitigating, responding to and recovering from a disaster or an emergency. Emergency Management is a legal responsibility and function of local government. PA Title 35 directs and authorizes every political subdivision (i.e., county, city, borough, incorporated town, and township) to have an emergency management program that includes a trained Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC), an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), and a functioning Emergency Operations Center (EOC) with a trained staff. The emergency management program in Dover Township is the Dover Township Emergency Management Agency (EMA).
