Office of Response, Recovery, and Resilience
Overview
Mission Statement
To build the County's resilience for future disasters, to serve as the emergency management office for responding to ongoing disasters, and to coordinate recovery efforts for disasters that have occurred.
Department Overview
To improve our community’s emergency response, elevate our disaster awareness and prepare for increases in extreme weather due to climate change, the Board of Supervisors created the Office of Response, Recovery & Resilience (OR3) in December 2020. OR3 goes beyond traditional emergency operations to create a full-service division to help our community prepare for disasters, respond during emergencies and assist with recovery. The department supports equity and climate action objectives through improved community outreach to under-resourced areas, improved emergency notification during disasters, new partnerships with libraries and non-governmental organizations to support the community during disasters and for community resilience centers in disadvantaged communities, and the pursuit of grant funding to address climate change.
