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.
