Abstract

The Arkansas Dept. of Emergency Management (ADEM) is the lead state agency for responsible for coordination of disaster response, recovery, mitigation, and planning. This presentation will focus on ADEM's role in earthquake response, a review of the earthquake response plan, and emergency management/geological survey integration activities with the Arkansas Geological Survey. The presentation will also review the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) mutual-aid system and how it may be used following an earthquake or other disaster.
