Natural Disasters
St. Louis County uses a cross-departmental approach to prepare for and respond to natural disasters and other large-scale events. Flooding, wildfires, winter storms and severe thunderstorms/winds are the most common natural hazards to affect our region. These can lead to damage to both public infrastructure and private property.
When these events occur, the Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management Division may activate the Emergency Operations Center to combine resources and share information from the Sheriff’s Office, Public Works, Public Health, Administration, Assessors, Environmental Services and others who support this work. This ensures the most complete response to serve our citizens and assist with recovery efforts.
