The Clear Creek County Office of Emergency Management (CCCOEM) is responsible for establishing and facilitating a process and structure for the systematic, coordination and effective delivery of public safety services to address the consequences of the destructive forces of natural and man-made disasters through a comprehensive program of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.

The activities and responsibilities of the Office of Emergency Management are conducted in stages:

● Mitigation – Activities that eliminate or reduce the chance of occurrence or effects of a disaster.

● Preparedness - The time prior to the onset of a threat, emergency, or disaster. It involves planning and activities that are focused on improving the overall capability of responding to and managing emergencies or disasters.

● Increased Readiness: - Responding to the forecast of a disaster. County departments monitor and assess conditions that could develop into a major emergency or disaster situation and keep the Office of Emergency Management informed of any potential problems.

● Response: - This starts at the onset of an emergency or disaster event and continues until the situation is stabilized or brought under control.

● Initial Relief and Recovery - This starts as soon as the situation becomes stabilized and continues until essential services are re-established and long term recovery planning and redevelopment activities can begin.

The burden of disaster management, and the resources to deal with it, requires a partnership among all levels of government, the private/business sector, voluntary organizations and the general public/community.
