Emergency Management
The College Station Division of Emergency Management (CSDEM) is committed to serving the community before, during, and after emergencies or disasters. We plan and prepare for hazards, educate the public on preparedness, manage grants to strengthen local capabilities, coordinate emergency response and recovery operations, support major events, and work closely with city departments, partner agencies, and community organizations. Our efforts align with FEMA’s five mission areas—Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery—to protect and strengthen our whole community when it needs us most.
