The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) for the City of Jersey Village is responsible for coordination between Local, County, State and Federal agencies. The OEM works with these agencies and builds working relationships to assist Jersey Village during times of disaster. During these times of disaster, such as hurricanes and floods, the Emergency Management Division works to provide planning, mitigation and recovery to the community.

The City Manager is the Incident Commander during such events and works with department heads who are assigned four divisions. Those divisions are Planning, Operations, Logistics and Finance. Each division plays a vital role in advising and implementing actions to address these disasters. The Emergency Manager works with the City Manager as his advisor so informed decisions benefiting the citizens and the community are made.

The City of Jersey Village is actively participating as a stakeholder in the update of the Harris County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. The previous plan was developed about four years ago, and it is now time to reassess and improve our strategies for mitigating various hazards that could impact our community. Being part of this comprehensive update process is important for Jersey Village. The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Action Plan is designed to identify risks, vulnerabilities, and actions that can reduce the impact of natural and man-made hazards. This proactive approach ensures that our city infrastructure and facilities are better prepared to withstand various threats, including hurricanes, floods, and other potential disasters.
