Welcome to Emergency Management

Anticipating the worst is the job of Macomb County's Office of Emergency Management, the organization responsible for planning and coordinating the response and recovery actions to any emergency situation or Homeland Security threat that may occur in Macomb County. 

The department ensures the efficient utilization of county, local and volunteer resources during periods of emergency and disaster events, and discharges county responsibilities as directed by the Michigan Emergency Management Act (P.A. 390, 1990).  This coordination is conducted within the Macomb County Emergency Operations Center where during an emergency, county and local officials coordinate the response and recovery activities to natural and/or man-made disasters.

In an effort to help citizens with their emergency preparedness planning, the Office of Emergency Management has developed a booklet that is a beneficial planning tool to the home and business owner.  A free copy of this booklet may be requested by calling 469-5270 or, for a large number of books, simply drop by the office Monday thrugh Friday to pick up multiple copies.

The Office of Emergency Management has moved to a new location.  Our new office is located at 21930 Dunham, Mt. Clemens, MI 48043 which is located across the street from the Verkuilen Building and between the Sheriff's Office/Jail and the Juvenille Justice Center and Probate Court.   Our phone numbers and email addresses have not changed.

The Office of Emergency Management also organizes periodic workshops and exercises for local police, fire, damage assessment, health and safety personnel. These practice sessions prepare emergency personnel for action during a real crisis. Such exercises help participants identify the strengths and, more importantly, the weaknesses of their emergency response plans. The best time to gain such knowledge is before an actual event occurs.  The staff of Emergency Management will also come out to give training or preparedness talks to your organization.  Call 586-469-5270 for more information.
