Emergency Management Agency

Burn Advisory

The Huntington County Fire Chief's Association has issued a Burn Advisory for Huntington County.

Due to the lack of rain and the dry weather we are experiencing, the chance of fire rapidly spreading through vegetation is very high. It is advised that you refrain from open burning until we receive adequate rain. If you are having a recreational campfire, have it in a burn ring and make sure it is completely extinguished before leaving the area. If you have a fire that is starting to spread, do not hesitate and call 911 right away.

The Huntington County Emergency Management Agency is mandated by Indiana Code Title 10-14-3. We work in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, the United States Department of Homeland Security, the Office for Domestic Preparedness and many other state and federal agencies. We also work with city and county response agencies of all types, ensuring preparedness and response capabilities for any manmade or natural disaster that may occur anywhere within Huntington County.

Emergency Management is responsible for writing, updating and disseminating the Huntington County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, Strategic Preparedness Plan, Standard Operating Procedures, Memorandums of Understanding and Mutual Aid Agreements. We receive new and updated requirements from IDHS and relay them to county agencies.

Homeland Security grant funds are disbursed to all emergency response agencies through the Emergency Management office, based on compliance to mandated mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery requirements as set forth yearly by IDHS.
