Mission: The purpose and intent of our involvement and our primary Mission Statement has been and continues to be as follows:

"The constant effort to Improve and Enhance our ability as a City to Mitigate and Respond to any and all Emergency incidents, and to supplement equipment and supply needs without expending City of Lebanon tax dollars whenever possible"

Mitigation Efforts:

  • In recent incidents across the country studies have shown that mitigation efforts have been impaired by both the size of the disaster as well as the lack of preparedness by the organizations involved.
  • The intent of The Emergency Services Department is to minimize the logistical and support requirements from outside agencies in the initial first stages of possible incidents, and to whenever possible be prepared and ready to assist other agency’s in their time of need.

As history has shown several incidents such as weather emergencies have proven to be difficult to mitigate due to the number of agencies in need of assistance.
