Emergency Management at the City!
The City has established an Emergency Management Program
consistent with its authority under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 401.305 to
401.335 and City Code 96 - 38 (cited as the "Emergency Management Code").
It is organized under the auspices of the City Council and works under the
overall supervision of the Public Works Director and City Manager.
The City has an Emergency Management Coordinator who is part of the Public Works
Management Staff and who is responsible for managing the City's program in all
four phases of Emergency Management. The responsibilities of the City's Emergency
Management Coordinator include:
Development and maintenance of the City's Response, Recovery, Preparedness,
and Mitigation Plans
Public education and training (CERT and Emergency Preparedness)
Education and training of City employees (ICS and ERRP)
Establishing procedures to staff and maintain the City's Emergency Operations Center during disasters and emergencies
Coordination with local, regional, state, and federal jurisdictions and agencies
Getting the word out about an emergency is essential to public safety. Tigard’s new
CodeRED emergency notification system can do just that.
