Emergency Management
The City of Prescott has developed a municipal emergency
operations plan that provides procedures for the City departments
to respond to various types of emergencies or disasters that affect
the community. This plan is used in conjunction with the
Pierce County Emergency Operation Plan. In an emergency, the
city emergency management team will be activated. If needed,
the Emergency Operations Center will be opened and staffed
throughout the emergency.

of those seconds by preparing your home and family in advance.
