Preparedness — It’s a Team Sport!
The Emergency Management Cooperative (EMC) of Washington County is a partnership between local government and special service districts who are committed to the development and maintenance of a countywide, integrated system to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against disasters.
The EMC includes Washington County, the cities of Beaverton, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, North Plains, Sherwood, Tigard, and Tualatin, Clean Water Services, and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue.
Together, the EMC works to improve countywide plans, host multi-agency trainings and exercises, provide assistance to local businesses, schools, social service agencies, church groups, neighborhood groups, civic organizations, and youth groups, and improve preparedness and response in Washington County.
We want your feedback to make our community safer!
Disasters can happen any time, any place. Washington County has updated our Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan which will guide our mitigation work for the next 5 years (until 2028). Participate in this survey to help us make sure our work and this plan continue to help strengthen our community’s resilience to natural disasters. This survey is voluntary and takes about 20 minutes to complete.
