Established under Chapter 5502 of the Ohio Revised Code. The Medina County Emergency Management Agency was established in 1990.
The primary focus of the Medina County Emergency Management Agency is to support first responders and government agencies during an emergency or crisis. EMA aids responders in areas of coordination and support in all areas of Mitigation, Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery. The agency attends community events to educate the public of our mission and writes grants to support training and equipment purchased for countywide "Whole Community" response and recovery capability. The agency is active with many other entities to non-government organizations such as the American Red Cross.
