In Ohio, emergency management is built on local respoThe Ohio Revised Code requires each county to establish an emgency management agency. The local agency is required to for and coordinate the response to emergencies at the local leLocal elected officials and safety services personnel are the line of responders except for hazard specific tasks assigned dily to the state, like radiological exposure assessment. The misstatement addresses mitigation, preparedness, response and reery functions at every level before, during and after a disaster

When an emergency exceeds the capacity of local respagencies, the county emergency management agency requestsassistance of the Ohio EMA. If the disaster exceeds the resouof the state, then the governor can request aid from the federal ernment through the Federal Emergency Management AgeNatural disasters, such as flashflooding, have resulted in six ldeclarations of a state of emergency, four of which have resultePresidential declarations in which the President has respondeddeclaring Monroe County a federal disaster area and freeinmoney for recovery efforts since January 1996. Monroe Co

has been declared a federal disaster area ten times since 1964 eifrom flooding, high winds or winter storms.

The Ohio EMA is dedicated to fostering a partnership betwall agencies charged with preparing, responding, recovery mitigating to an emergency. This partnership will allow the enemergency management community - local, state and federarespond to all hazards affecting Ohio citizens.
