Office of Emergency Preparedness

Office of Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies are unavoidable. Local government entities, nonprofit organizations and private companies all work to prevent emergencies in their respective industries, but a certain percentage will happen no matter what preventative measures are taken.

The Guadalupe Office of Emergency Management (GOEM) is a division within the City of Guadalupe and is responsible for the mitigation, preparedness, planning, coordination of response, and recovery activities related to city emergencies and disasters.  GOEM also serves as the primary coordination point for all city emergency activities. 

Focuses

In order to accomplish our mission, GEM focuses on the following primary areas:

  • All-hazards disaster planning
  • Citywide testing, training and exercises
  • Public education and outreach
  • Public alert and warning
  • Operational Area coordination
  • Emergency Operations Center (EOC) operations
  • Short-term disaster assistance and long-term recovery

ReadySBC Alerts is the County’s notification system that allows public safety officials to alert community members of emergencies and any necessary protective actions, such evacuation and sheltering in place. Alerts and warnings can be sent to your mobile device (call or text), email, landline phones, and TTY/TDD.  Click here to register.
