Emergency Government
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.
