Emergency Management
Polk County Emergency Management spends every day preparing the County for a variety of disasters, both large and small. These plans apply to all-hazards, both manmade and natural. Polk County is committed to a whole-community approach to emergency planning.
Everyone should take steps to minimize the impact of disasters on their family. Do you have a plan? Is your family prepared for an emergency? What can you do to make sure you're ready for anything?
Plans
This plan outlines possible natural hazards and identifies ways to mitigate the impacts in Polk County. A new plan is in the works and will gain input from across the county to form a new plan for the next five years.
