    About Us

    The Daviess County Emergency Management Agency (DCEMA) is the unit of local government responsible for the coordination of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery efforts pertaining to major emergencies or disasters arising from natural or man-made causes. This is in accordance with State Statutes and Federal Laws. We provide a number of services important to community awareness and preparedness.

    Preparations include the use of exercises (training) for disasters. While some of these are in a discussion format, there are those that require people to play the parts of victims. This gives the first responders and emergency facilities the opportunity to practice their readiness in the event of an actual emergency or disaster.
