 The Office of Emergency Management

The Navarro County Office of Emergency Management (NCOEM) is a unique agency that serves Navarro County and most all of the incorporated jurisdictions in Navarro County.  Under Federal and State regulations, the Directors of the Emergency Management Program are our chief elected officials: our County Judge and our Mayors throughout the county.  Your Emergency Management Coordinator oversees the daily operations of the emergency management program.  You might have guessed that the OEM works closely with the Fire Department, Police Department, Sheriff's Office and other city and county agencies.  But the OEM's network goes far beyond that.  The OEM partners with many other agencies such as the American Red Cross, our Navarro County Volunteer Fire Departments, the Amateur Radio Club, the Salvation Army, the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), the National Weather Service, local aviation groups, local volunteer groups, our local hospital and clinic, and Independent School Districts to make our community as disaster resistant as we can be.  The Office of Emergency Management focuses on several key areas to help our city and county be prepared for any disaster.

These include:

The Emergency Operations Plan
The Office of Emergency Management takes an “all hazards” approach to disaster management which is reflected in our disaster plan.  The plan is made up of several components that include the Basic Plan and 22 annexes.  It is the job of the Office of Emergency Management  to gather the local experts in these areas to write, regularly review, and when necessary update the basic plan and annexes.
Training / Preparedness
Training is essential for an effective disaster response.  Our fire fighters, police officers, and EMS are very good at handling emergencies and crisis situations.  However, when disaster strikes on a large scale, extraordinary measures are needed to manage our resources and deal with situations that are not normally part of our daily functions.  This is where training becomes very important.  The Office of Emergency Management works with the city and county agencies to identify and coordinate appropriate training opportunities.
Public Education and Awareness
Another key role of the Office of Emergency Management is to inform you, the citizens of Navarro County.  We are continually striving to bring you the information that you need to make you and your family safer during times of disaster.  This web site is central in bringing you this information.

 A representative from the OEM is available to speak on a variety of emergency management topics to any business or civic group within Navarro County area.  Call us at 903-654-3396 or email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.
