Lynn Siegel has been the Emergency Management Director since 2013.
Traverse County Emergency Management is responsible for all emergency management related activities including preparing for, mitigating, responding to, and recovering from disasters.
Emergency Management is the integration of all activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve countywide capabilities to prevent, protect, and mitigate the effects of hazards, respond to emergencies, and effectively recover from disaster through a continuous cycle of planning, training, exercising, and making improvements.
Emergency Management is also responsible for the development of county and
community-based plans and programs to maintain a state of readiness to meet natural, human-made, and technological disasters on a local or countywide basis.
Emergency Management coordinates and maintains inventories of disaster resources in the county, both public and private, as well as plans for the effective utilization of resources in the county.
We do this by coordinating with and assistance from federal and state agencies, county departments, cities, community organizations,
private industry, and volunteers.
