The Illinois Emergency Management Agency is responsible for coordinating the State's disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery programs and activities. This is accomplished through the unified efforts of personnel in the Central Office in Springfield and 8 Regional Offices.

Regional Coordinators in these offices facilitate the efforts of local (county and municipal) Emergency Services and Disaster Agencies (ESDAs), elected officials, response agencies, and voluntary organizations to save lives and protect property.

You may contact these offices to learn about projects, plans, and programs with the common goal of making and keeping Illinois' citizens safer. Through these contacts you can learn steps and take actions now to better prepare your family and home before emergencies arise or disasters strike.
