Prepare

In conjunction with all City departments, the Sugar Land Department of Emergency Management has taken steps to ensure the highest level of preparedness for all citizens of the city of Sugar Land and its employees:

The city continually reviews emergency operations plans and takes steps to ensure all City employees understand their specific roles and responsibilities relative to an emergency.
The Department of Emergency Management conducts exercises that include all City departments to test the preparedness level of the City. Exercises have included a hurricane event and hazardous material scenarios as well as testing the activation of the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
Sugar Land is involved in the statewide All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT) process, training City employees to manage emergency situations. Employees from various departments have received intensive, week-long training required for AHIMT certification.
Steps are also taken to ensure City facilities and vehicles are working at full capacity, delivering the highest level of service to protect our citizens in case of any emergency.

Below you will find links to comprehensive information on what to do before, during, and after potential hazard events that may affect our area (Resources from ready.gov).
