Mission. Emergency management protects communities by coordinating and integrating all activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from threatened or actual natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other man-made disasters.
The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) coordinates the state emergency management program, which is intended to ensure the state and its local governments respond to and recover from emergencies and disasters and implement plans and programs to help prevent or lessen the impact of emergencies and disasters.
Contingency planning means preparing an organization to be ready to respond effectively in the event of an emergency. It is an important part of the IFRC's work supporting National Society preparedness.
The local emergency manager has the responsibility for coordinating all components of the emergency management programs and activities for the community, including: Managing resources before, during, and after a major emergency or disaster.
Leadership. TDEM is led by a Chief who serves as the agency director. The Chief is assisted by a deputy Chief and three Assistant Agency Directors. TDEM is currently led by the Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Nim Kidd.
Disaster preparedness consists of a set of measures undertaken in advance by governments, organisations, communities, or individuals to better respond and cope with the immediate aftermath of a disaster, whether it be human-induced or caused by natural hazards.
When a disaster is declared, the Federal government, led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), responds at the request of, and in support of, States, Tribes, Territories, and Insular Areas and local jurisdictions impacted by a disaster. Response actions are organized under the National Response Framework.
