Welcome
to the Village of Hinsdale Office of Emergency Management
home page.
The Village of Hinsdale Emergency Management Team
is made up of dedicated professionals that have public
safety and mitigation of potential disaster situations
as our main focus.
Mission
The mission of Emergency Management is to minimize
the effects of future disasters through mitigation,
planning, training and response efforts. The coordination
of response agencies during a disaster event and public
education and awareness for disaster preparedness
is a vital part of these efforts. We insure the Village's
state of readiness with the development and maintenance
of the Emergency Operations Plan partnering with the
Police Department and Fire Department.
Disaster
Disaster strikes anytime and anywhere. It takes many
forms -- a tornado, a flood, a fire or a hazardous
spill, an act of nature or an act of terrorism. It
builds over days or weeks, or hits suddenly, without
warning. Every year, millions of Americans face disaster,
and its terrifying consequences.
What
We Do
The Office of Emergency Management provides:
- Effective and orderly governmental control and
coordination of emergency operations;
- Develops and maintains the Village's Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan;
- Coordinates emergency management activities, services
and programs including:
- Teaching people how to get through a disaster
- Making disaster assistance available to our
communities, businesses, and individuals
- Training and emergency simulations
