Mission Statement

Trinity County's Office of Emergency Management's (O.E.M.) mission is to minimize loss of life and personal injury, damage to property and the environment from disasters. We strive to accomplish this through a continuing program of outreach, coordination, planning, training, and exercising, for "all hazards" and for all four phases of emergency management -- mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

Emergency Alerting System (EAS)

In an emergency, Trinity County has the ability to alert its residents by the use of the Emergency Alerting System (EAS).

Radio stations' KIVY 92.7 FMand KIVY 1290 AM are the local official Emergency Alerting System (EAS) radio station for Jefferson County. In an emergency situation, programming is interrupted and in information is automatically broadcast to listeners.

A cable television Emergency Alerting System is provided to Trinity County residents by Time Warner Cable via all cable television channels. In an emergency situation, programming is automatically interrupted to provide verbal and visual emergency information to viewers.

The Emergency Alerting system also broadcasts the "Save Our Kids" (Amber Alert) Alert Systems which will help recover children quicker and curb abductions. When local law enforcement determines a child is missing they activate the "Save Our Kids" (Amber Alert) alert which gives details about the missing child, a description of the child , and or any person(s) or vehicles, which may have been involved. This program has greatly enhanced the health and safety of our area's children.

The "Save Our Kids' (Amber Alert) alert over radio and television sounds similar to a regular broadcast emergency alert report. Cable television channels my also display alert "crawlers" about the missing child which would resemble the severe weather warning "crawlers."
