Emergency Management

Emergency Management

Providing Safety, Protecting Communities

In the early 1980’s New Hampshire started the transition from Civil Defense to Emergency Management. It now falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Safety and is known as the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

Citizens should know that there are professionals on all levels of government planning, training, preparing and exercising during non-disaster times and working tirelessly on response, recovery and mitigation during times of crisis. Like the Civil Defense and Emergency Shelter relics of the Cold War, the Emergency Management symbol will remind citizens of their own responsibilities to be prepared and informed.

Sincerely, 

Thomas Conner
Director of Emergency Management
