Local Emergency Management Programs

The Michigan State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division (MSP/EMHSD) is responsible for coordinating state and federal resources to assist local governments in response and relief activities in the event of an emergency or disaster. The division also coordinates homeland security initiatives and various federal grants. Under the authority of the Michigan Emergency Management Act (Public Act 390 of 1976, as amended), each county is required to appoint an emergency management coordinator. In addition, some Michigan communities have municipal emergency management coordinators. Emergency management coordinators have responsibilities that include planning for hazard mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery in local communities. For more information, contact your county or municipal emergency management coordinator.
