Disasters and Emergency Management in Licking County
The Licking County Emergency Management Agency has provided disaster preparedness and response programs since 1988. EMA replaced other local agencies which planned for and reacted to civil defense matters and natural disasters. Recently the Records & Archives Department has collected material from EMA, as well as some other items related to disaster management, civil defense and disasters in Licking County.
