Houghton County Office of
Emergency Measures (OEM) is responsible for coordinating
response and relief activities in the face of man-made
or natural disasters, thereby protecting the lives of
the people and their property.
By using a cooperative system that includes private
business, industry, volunteer organizations,
governmental agencies and other public and private
service groups, the most efficient response to disasters
can be provided.
OEM works closely with local municipalities to
identify and analyze potentially hazardous situations.
Detailed contingency plans are formed, tested and
regularly updated.
The common thread in all emergency response is to
save lives and protect property. By Utilizing and
coordinating the expertise of business and industry,
support of local governments and assistance from
community organizations, our resources are better
protected and utilized.
