Farmington Office of Emergency Management Public Safety / Mitigation

How it works

The Farmington Emergency Management Office is responsible for coordination of the city’s preparedness, response, and recovery programs for all types of hazards. The office says it works with local, county, state, and federal partners as needed, and its mission is to help the community prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural and man-made emergencies.

What the page offers homeowners

This page is an official city emergency management resource, not a funding program. It provides hazard information, preparedness guidance, and mitigation support resources. The office specifically says it will provide leadership and support to reduce the loss of life and property through an all-hazards emergency management program.

The page includes links and references for:

• Current weather conditions and National Weather Service alert information
