Sedgwick County
Emergency
Management emphasizes planning, preparing, and coordinating local governments’
efforts in dealing with all types of emergencies and hazards, natural or
man-made, or homeland security, which might affect citizens of Sedgwick County.
This preparation is necessary to improve our community’s overall coordination
and ongoing preparedness. Emergency Management prepares for what we hope never
happens and provides structure and coordination when it does. The
Department of Homeland Security is the major grantor for Emergency Management.

Emergencies
When an emergency effects the Sedgwick County area such as severe weather, flooding, and other disaster, Emergency Management will have spotters and units in the field reporting the latest information and developments to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). You can monitor emergency spotter reports online. Sedgwick County Emergency Management also encourages citizens to invest in a NOAA weather alert radio and to tune into local television and radio stations for information on emergencies effecting Sedgwick County.
Hazardous Analysis Plan
The Sedgwick County Hazards Analysis Plan has recently been revised. The purpose of a hazards analysis plan is to identify the potential hazards facing a community whether they are natural, technological or national security related. The plan follows a three-step, decision-making process and is designed to consider all potential hazards within the planning district and to identify which hazards are of high priority and should be addressed in the emergency planning process.
Mission
The Sedgwick County Emergency Management Department exists to help citizens and local governments mitigate against, prepare for, respond to and recover from all types of emergencies and disasters (natural, technological, and national security).
