Our Staff
Emergency Management is the lead county agency charged with coordinating our county’s emergency planning, preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery efforts for natural and man-made disasters. We also aid county departments with preparedness and response efforts. Emergency Management is the principal agency for disaster-related training and exercises and the conduit for requesting regional, state, and federal resources to address hazards, risks, and threats to public safety. Emergency management operates under the authority of Chapter 323 of the Wisconsin Statutes and Chapter 6 of the Dodge County ordinance.
Dodge County Emergency Management is the oversight of our countywide land mobile radio system that provides mission critical radio communications between all the first response agencies in Dodge County and our 911 Communication Center. This is accomplished by a network of 9 communication towers located throughout Dodge County.
Dodge County Emergency Management oversees the Dodge County Hazardous Materials Team. The team is made up of 15 specialty trained first responders from around Dodge County. The team provides county fire and rescue departments with specialized support to include equipment, training, and personnel that are not normally considered a primary emergency service provided by local fire and rescue departments
