Emergency Management

By definition, an Emergency Management Agency is responsible for comprehensively planning for and responding to and recovering from all manner of disasters, whether man-made or natural.   Perry County’s First Responders are dedicated to saving lives every day.

The Office of Emergency Management is tasked with administering and directing a program of comprehensive Emergency Management and Homeland Security issues designed to reduce the vulnerability of citizens and communities of this County to damage, to injury and to loss of life and property by providing a system for the mitigation of, preparedness for, response to and recovery from natural or man-made disasters.

The Office of Emergency Management also encourages you to sign up to receive Emergency Alerts. Click on the "Sign up for" image and you can register your home and/or cell phone numbers to receive weather warnings, disaster information or other Code Red alerts that are important to saving lives in the event of disasters.  

The Office of Emergency Management reminds everyone to Be Prepared. Have a Plan. Have a Kit. Get Trained.

As a member of the Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads, an Association of Life Saving, Rescue, and First Aid Units with members organized, trained, and equipped for various types of rescue and first aid work, the Perry County Rescue Squad members voluntarily give of their time and effort without compensation to the development of accident prevention and first aid procedures, the widespread education of the public in such procedures, and to the necessary rescue and first aid work for the relief of their fellow men.

Perry County’s emergency needs are served by a dedicated team of volunteers and professionals who coordinate with the all-volunteer Rescue Squad and the Fire Departments of Linden and Lobelville.  These First Responders commit to intensive ongoing training to prepare for the emergencies that we face in our community – whether they are health, fire, accidents, weather-related or natural disasters.
