The City of Milton works with local partners, the Atlanta Fulton County Emergency Management Agency (AFCEMA), as well as state and federal emergency management agencies to plan for, mitigate, respond to and recover from disasters.

Emergency management is about planning for a resilient community that can weather large-scale incidents. It is also about preparing our police officers, firefighters, public works staff, and other City employees to work together in the face of unique large-scale problems. 

Since 2007, Milton has had four federally declared disasters, a tornado touch down and faces several severe winter events annually. And then there's the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented, long-term event that required unprecedented coordination, education and action among City employees.  Each of these events was larger than the usual daily duties of our police, fire, and public works personnel, thus requiring a unified response from our City and community.
