The board considered Resolution 2025-39 to recognize August as National Emergency Management Awareness Month and adopted it by voice vote. An emergency-management official described the month as an initiative by the International Association of Emergency Managers to spotlight preparedness, response and recovery work carried out by local agencies and volunteers.
The presenter outlined local emergency-management functions—coordinating evacuations, running emergency operations centers, managing alerts, and supporting long-term recovery—and urged communities to prioritize preparedness. After questions from supervisors about recent local weather events and gauges, the board voted to adopt the proclamation without recorded opposition.
