GCEM is responsible for the protection and safety of our citizens. This is accomplished through a coordinated effort to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Our ongoing mission is to mitigate future emergencies and disasters.

Just a few of the services we offer our residents:

• Siren Warning System
• Storm Shelter Registration If anyone you know has a basement,storm shelter,or saferoom, have them register their information with us. Tell all your friends and relatives to be sure and register their information with us. This includes any business and/or organization that has shelters in their respective locations.
• Tornado Safety
• Thunderstorm Safety
• Flash Flooding Safety

The center is used to centralize the coordination of all emergency service and public works operations that would be utilized in the event we have a disaster or event that would warrant activation.

We are also StormReady, for information on what StormReady is and does for our community, go to www.nws.noaa.gov/stormready.

We hope this site helps you learn what to do in the case of any type of emergency situation.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mike Honigsberg at 580-249-5969 Mike@gcem.org.
