What will Frederick County do for me in an emergency?
Frederick County offers emergency preparedness information and materials to explain what any individual can do for his or herself in an emergency, such as making sure you have your supplies where you can easily and quickly access them.

The County offers emergency notifications through a variety of different methods such as text, television, website and radio.

During an emergency, the County’s resources may be scarce. That is why we encourage all residents to plan in advance, with neighbors, friends and family so if you should need assistance, you have people you can call on.
