Emergency Management Agency

What is Emergency Management?

As an entity of the local county government, the Carroll County Emergency Management Agency (CCEMA) uses a four-pronged approach to emergency management that includes preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. This approach emphasizes planning, training, and resource coordination to prepare our citizens for how they should respond and recover from any threat, actual disaster, an act of terrorism, or emergency situation.
