About
the Department
The
Mayor and City Council established the "new" Emergency Management
Department in July 2000 to improve the direction and control
of local emergency preparations, response and recovery activities
and to ensure that the needs of all the citizens of Los
Angeles are met in the event of a local emergency. Previously,
the department was known as the Emergency Management Division.
The
department coordinates the interdepartmental preparedness,
planning, training and recovery activities of the Emergency
Operations Organization, its divisions, and all City departments.
Additionally, it serves as a liaison with other municipalities,
state and federal agencies, and the private sector; and
performs related public education and community preparedness
activities.
