Charlotte County Emergency Management works to protect lives, property, and the environment through preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. We reduce risks, educate residents, and strengthen community resilience year-round. During emergencies, our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as the heart of coordination, uniting public safety agencies, government partners, utilities, and community organizations to share information and mobilize resources efficiently.
Preparedness is more than planning for storms. It’s about empowering every resident to stay informed, adapt, and recover when challenges arise.
In times of crisis, we are here for you. For immediate emergencies, always call 9-1-1.
