DeWitt County is exposed to many hazards, some which have the capability to devastate the county, cause destruction and create injuries. We prepare for and carry out Disaster Response and Recover as may be necessary or proper to prevent, minimize, repair and alleviate injury and damage resulting from disaster caused by natural, man-made or nuclear causes.

Disaster response is basically a local responsibility of City, Villages, Townships, with the supportive help of the County, State, and Federal Agencies.
