Who We Are

The Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (OEMHS) promotes emergency preparedness and resilience throughout the community. OEMHS coordinates the County's disaster response via the Emergency Operations Center and/or Field Operations. We also coordinate the County's pre-disaster emergency planning efforts to prepare and practice the County's response procedures. OEMHS provides timely public warning for imminent emergencies and disasters via our Alert Montgomery emergency notification system. We also assist residents, community groups, and businesses with emergency preparedness through our Community Outreach program and outreach materials.
