How does Hoquiam cope with the staggering costs of responding to and recovering from an emergency disaster situation? How do we coordinate and delegate responsibilities in the event of a disaster?

How do citizens keep informed and remain vigilant in protecting their family and community from forces that threaten their safekeeping?

The answer - Emergency Management.

The City of Hoquiam has an emergency preparedness plan that covers everything from a downtown plane crash to erupting volcanoes and earthquakes.

The city is well prepared for floods, fire emergencies and tidal waves.

The city works closely with the County of Grays Harbor Emergency Services to keep our disaster plans current and able to cover all contingencies.
