The official facebook page of The Sumner County Emergency Management Agency.
By law the Sumner County Emergency Management Agency is directed to be the lead agency for managing any disaster in Sumner County. Through the guidance and leadership of Director Ken Weidner, we manage the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when activated due to a disaster or emergency. The EOC is the heart of large scale incidents and emergencies that is staffed by key personnel from involved communities. These personnel work together under the National Incident Management System in effort to manage the incident and provide for the safety of citizens by coordinated responses and thorough mitigation.
The Sumner County Emergency Management Agency is often called upon by other agencies to assist in marine incidents, locating lost or endangered persons, hazardous materials incidents, traffic direction and special events. We are fortunate to possess equipment that is not operated by other agencies to assist us in the response to incidents that requires special equipment.
