WHAT DOES EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DO ALL YEAR?
Emergency management is the practice of dealing with and preventing or avoiding risk. Agencies for emergency management are found at all levels of government. Emergency management has four main phases and types of activities for which it engages; these activities include mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Mitigation is the effort to prevent incidents from becoming disasters and working to lessen the overall effects of disasters. Overall, mitigation activities tend to be long-term efforts for reducing or eliminating risk. Preparedness encompasses activities that prepare an area for potential hazards and should include a thorough understanding of activities needed within the area to help the preparedness efforts. Response is the actual response by an emergency management agency during an event, incident, or disaster. Finally, recovery is the collection of activities that are implemented after an incident to help an area recover.
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Emergency Management’s main purpose is to establish and coordinate activities involving mitigation, preparedness, response, and
recovery. Currently, there is one Emergency Management Director, three Coordinators, and one Administrative Assistant. There is always one individual on-call; the Director and Coordinators alternate the responsibility of assigned on-call. The Office of Emergency Management is located in the Forsyth County Public Safety Center at 301 N. Church Street in Winston-Salem.
Emergency Management services were required for 60 emergency incidents and/or planned events in 2017. The various types of events and incidents include weather-related events; multiple transportation incidents; multiple hazardous material spills and/or releases; VIP visits; three Joint Operations Center activations; and a limited, or partial, Emergency Operations Center activation involving the Forsyth County Incident Management Team.
This year’s largest project for Emergency Management was the move of the EM offices, in order to co-locate them with the newly upgraded Emergency Operations Center.
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Emergency Management activities in 2017 include: emergency incidents; exercise participation; training participation; training, events & exercise coordination; grant management & execution; emergency & disaster planning; new offices and EOC upgrades; and emergency program coordination.
