Established in 1952 in response to Federal, State, and local guidelines, the Mobile County Commission passed a resolution on June 8, 1987, that made the Mobile County Emergency Management Agency (MCEMA) the office of government to act for the emergency planning district in Mobile County. MCEMA covers all 11 political jurisdictions. In 2025 MCEMA received the prestigious designation of achieving EMAP certification. The third entity and only county level agency in Alabama to earn the distinction.
MCEMA has the primary responsibility for development of plans and operations for our citizens and their property in the event of any emergencies that may affect our county. In the event of a disaster, MCEMA activates the County Emergency Operations Center which serves as the primary center for rescue, response and recovery from the disaster or hazard. Protect lives, property and the environment.
