Lycoming County maintains a combination of governmental and volunteer emergency service organizations and facilities that are capable of coping with emergencies.
Effective response to emergencies by Lycoming County Emergency Management relies upon emergency operations plans, organizations, trained personnel and mutual aid agreements that enable the rapid mobilization and utilization of the total resource capabilities within the County.
In conjunction with the planning and organization, Lycoming County Emergency Management maintains communications links with local and state agencies. One is the electronic link with the National Weather Service. Information on impending storms well in advance allows Lycoming County to notify the public and emergency services so that they can prepare themselves.
