"The mission of the Emergency Management Agency is to evaluate, understand, plan, and prepare for the unexpected while teaming with other departments, organizations, and the private sector in supporting Mitigation, an effective Response, and assisting in Recovery. This includes educating and informing the community of issues and actions taken on their behalf."

"The Emergency Management Agency is responsible for coordinating the preparation for and response to emergency situations. To address these potential threats, the Emergency Management Agency publishes the county's Emergency Operations Plan. This plan provides the framework upon which the county prepares for, responds to, and performs its emergency response functions during times of natural or man-made disasters or national emergencies."

"The mission of the Fire Marshal's Office is the preservation of life and the protection of property from fire, explosion and other associated emergency conditions in an effort to make the county virtually fire-free, accomplished through the development and implementation of proactive programs and services in the areas of investigations, public education, inspections and regulation. Our overall goal is focused on the prevention of death, injury and property loss to the residents and visitors to Madison County."
