History
Stanton County Emergency Management Agency
The Stanton County Emergency Management Agency started in January of 1989 as The Local Department of Civil Defense for Stanton County. At the time, Civil Defense was responsible for the planning and alerting of the public for natural or man-made disasters. On July 19th, 1996, the State of Nebraska passed the Emergency Management Act, and shortly after, Nebraska Counties changed their name from Civil Defense to Emergency Management. The Emergency Management Act helped define the roles and policies of Emergency Management Agencies across the State of Nebraska. Those roles and responsibilities have drastically changed and continue to change as natural and man-made disasters increase.
