Description
The Yolo County Office of Emergency Services (OES) leads comprehensive planning, response, and recovery efforts for large-scale emergencies and disasters. Through strong collaboration with first responders, government agencies, non-profits, and private sector partners, OES ensures a coordinated, resilient, and effective approach to community safety and disaster preparedness.
In the event of a disaster, the Office of Emergency Services (OES) activates the County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC), a centralized location for coordinating countywide emergency response activities, supporting field operations, and coordinating damage assessments and cost recovery from state and federal governments. Yolo County utilizes the National Incident Management System and Standard Emergency Management System to establish common operating procedures and to ensure an effective organizational structure for a unified disaster response. OES regularly provides training on these incident management systems to local public safety personnel
