The Boone County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is overseen by the Boone County Sheriff, and is directed by Deputy Sandra Rogers. It is the responsibility of EMA to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Boone County before a disaster strikes through planning, training, and mitigation and to reduce human suffering after a disaster strikes through prompt and effective coordination of the state's response and recovery efforts utilizing partnerships with state, local, and federal agencies and voluntary organizations. These disasters include every possibility from HazMat (Hazardous Materials) accidents to plane crashes, floods, tornados and other natural disasters.
In addition, since the tragic attack on September 11, 2001, the role of EMA on a county level has expanded dramatically to include training for terrorist attacks including biological, chemical and bomb threats in cooperation with the Homeland Security Office.
