Citizen Engagement
A resilient community is one who’s citizens are prepared and engaged. At the Lee County EMA, one of our primary missions is to help build a more resilient community. Offering classes, services and a means to engage the citizens of Lee County is how we work to accomplish that mission.
Below are just a few ways that you can get involved helping us to build a more resilient Lee County. The affiliated organizations are those that our agency has formal ties to, either through Memorandum of Understands or participates within the leadership structure of that organization. Non-affiliated civic organizations are ones who play a positive and productive role in the community by providing support towards the EMA mission in some manner.
