The Department of Emergency Management is responsible for the mitigation, preparedness, planning, coordination of response, and recovery activities related to county emergencies and disasters.
The department serves as the primary coordination point for emergency management's activities affecting more than one jurisdiction, and the unincorporated areas of the county. The Department of Emergency Management became an independent county department in July 2019.
The Sonoma County Department of Emergency Management is updating the County’s Emergency Operations Plan and is seeking public feedback. The County will host in-person community meetings in each of the five supervisorial districts as well as a countywide virtual meeting.
