EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

Our Mission

Tony Day, Emergency Management Director

The Saline County Emergency Management Agency's mission is to protect the lives and property of all Saline County residents when disasters threaten public safety due to either natural disasters (snow and/or ice storms, tornadoes, floods, or any severe weather event) or man-made disasters (hazardous materials accident, radiological hazard, or active shooter event) through preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery.

About Us

Our Agency is located in the Saline County Courthouse Annex at the corner of West Arrow and South Odell in Marshall. We are a part-time staff consisting of Tony Day, Emergency Management Director, and Sharon Sheffer, Administrative Assistant. Office hours vary as we are frequently out of the office at meetings, training, or exercises. Whenever possible, office hours are maintained from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM Monday through Friday.
