COLUMBIA COUNTY

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

"Be Prepared, Keep Informed, Get Involved"

 

Columbia County EMA has two full time employees and is the principle emergency management coordinating entity for thirty-three municipalities.

 

Like any community Columbia County is potentially vulnerable to a variety of natural and man caused emergencies with flash flooding and Susquehanna River flooding at the top of the list.

 

 

 

Columbia County is also a risk county of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station and a member of the East Central PA Counter-Terrorism Task Force. With 59 Tier II reporting facilities, Interstate 80 and two railroads dissecting the county we are also prepared to respond to a variety of hazardous materials incidents.

 

Columbia County EMA’s motto is “Informed people make better decisions’" so community outreach is the foundation of our emergency management program.
