Training
Training in and evaluating the Vernon County Emergency Operations Plans are required under the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This ensures that emergency response personnel are trained and available, and that there are sufficient facilities and equipment available to prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from natural and man made disasters. Classes are provided for emergency service volunteers including local police, fire, municipal officials, and Emergency Medical Services.
The Emergency Management Department works with villages and cities in developing and implementing local emergency plans specific to their areas.
