The Office of Emergency Management works with all 38 Clark County Departments, but also has a great working relationship with the Southern Nevada Health District, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Clark County School District, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the incorporated cities. Preparedness and emergency management are primary responsibilities of these agencies, but a strong emphasis needs to look at the social vulnerability of residents. When working with Social Services and the Southern Nevada Health District, the Social Vulnerability Index can identify where these populations reside. With having this information, contact can be made with organizations outside of the fire department, which in turn decreases suppressions call volume. CCOEM participates in various committees, to include the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), the Urban Area Working Group (UAWG), the Nevada Resilience Advisory Committee (NRAC), the State Search and Rescue Board, the Emergency Preparedness Working Group (EPWG, and the Intrastate Mutual Aid Committee (IMAC). Nevada Task Force One (NV-TF1) is one of 28 FEMA task forces, is sponsored by Clark County Fire, and resides under the Office of Emergency Management. The Southern Nevada Type III Incident Management Team also sits under CCOEM. The Multi-Agency Coordination Center is operated by CCOEM, with its strength coming from Emergency Support Functions (ESF). These ESF’s are community partners who are the subject matter experts in their fields.
