Chilton County Emergency Management Agency

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

Welcome to the Chilton County EMA

Chilton County EMA has a long standing history of caring for the people of our county. We have been there in times of trouble to assist our citizens. We take pride in efforts to uphold our motto: "Always Ready." We are ready to respond throughout each crisis whether it may be tornados, winter storms, major fires, drought, or hazardous materials release. Chilton County EMA depends primarily on one paid staff member along with many volunteers to achieve our goals.

In March of 2004, Chilton County EMA took on a new responsibility of coordinating Homeland Security activities for our county. Chilton County EMA is now the primary contact for distribution of federal Homeland Security funds down to our local governments and emergency services units.

Chilton County EMA enjoys serving the people of our county. We welcome any questions, suggestions, or comments you may have concerning our programs.
