About Us

Hood River County Emergency Management + Resilience is a regional resource to prepare our region for large scale emergencies and disasters.

We partner with Cities, Counties, Fire Departments, 911, schools, medical, health and other first response agencies Gorge-wide and are staffed by trained volunteers and partner staffs.

When needed, we activate the Hood River County EOC (Emergency Operations Center) to help the community and boost first responders.

We are the direct link to bring in partners and additional regional, state and federal support.

We manage grants, disaster planning and programs that enhance our county’s readiness and response.

And we help citizens and businesses prepare ahead so they are ready when needed. Visit our Get Prepared page for checklists and tips.
