Emergency Management Plan and City-County Coordination
Delaware
Summary
Delaware County's EMA director explained how the county supports the city during disasters — tornadoes, flooding, hazmat spills, and big events like the Little Brown Jug. The city handles incidents first; the county steps in when local resources are overwhelmed. Residents are urged to get insurance, sign up for Delco Alerts, and consider a NOAA weather radio.

Impact analysis
The January 2026 winter storm cost the county about $700,000, but fell short of the ~$1.04 million threshold for federal reimbursement — meaning local taxpayers absorbed the difference.
All residents benefit from coordinated disaster response, better alerting systems, and clear guidance on preparedness.
