Ohio Emergency Management Agency
Description
A division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, the Ohio Emergency Management Agency coordinates activities to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters, both natural and man–made.

In addition to disaster response and recovery, Ohio EMA agency activities include education, training, planning, preparedness, strengthening Ohio's first responder capabilities and improving communication across the state.
