In 1994, the Sheriff's Office assumed responsibility for managing the County's Office of Emergency Services (OES). Sheriff's employees assigned to the OES work in collaboration with Fire services, Emergency Medical Services, hospitals, schools, and public and private agencies to  implement preparedness programs, develop emergency response plans, and conduct training drills. The OES also sponsors several community based programs such as our "Neighborhood Emergency Services Team"(NEST), that provide important information on what citizens can do individually and collectively, to prevent, respond to, and survive a disaster event. 

The mission of the Sheriff's OES is to continuously evaluate and improve our ability to prevent natural and man-made disasters. In the past, El Dorado County has been impacted by a wide variety of disaster events.  Examples include wildland fires, floods, earthquakes, severe winter storms, utility failures, and hazardous material spills. If a disaster should occur, the OES will activate and deploy emergency personnel and resources, efficiently and effectively to minimize the effect of the disaster and to assist in recovery efforts.
