Alleghany County Emergency Services, Division of Emergency Management

Mission The mission of the Allegheny County Department of Emergency Services Division of Emergency Management is to mitigate the potential effects of the various hazards and vulnerabilities that might impact the county, to implement measures which will preserve life and minimize damage, to respond effectively to the needs of the citizens and local jurisdictions during emergencies, and to provide a recovery system to return the county and its communities to a normal status as soon as possible from the effects of natural or man-made disasters, technological accidents, national security threats, and other disrupting incidents that may impact our area. Vision Our vision is for a less vulnerable and more resilient Allegheny County through a comprehensive emergency management program which is built through fostering relationships that will be mutually beneficial without infringing upon the autonomy of each entity. It is through these relationships that we will nurture an environment of trust, respect, cooperation, and coordination that will translate into success during all phases of emergency management.
