The Tri-State
Emergency Management Directors are pleased to provide this valuable
information source about emergency management and the services
we provide. Our goal is to provide our region with life saving
information about preparedness and our regional response to emergencies
as well as how we regionally help communities recover from disaster
and lessen the effects of future disasters. We hope this resource
will help you learn more about what you can do to prepare yourself
and protect your family from the potential disasters and emergencies
that can affect our region.
The twelve
counties of our Tri-State Region form an Urban Areas Security Initiative
region (UASI) which provides financial assistance to address the
unique planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat,
high-density urban areas. This regional initiative also assists
us in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent,
respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism.
Our USAI
Region includes the city of Cincinnati and the counties of Hamilton,
Butler, Warren, Clermont, Clinton, Brown and Adams in Ohio; Boone,
Kenton and Campbell in Kentucky and Dearborn in Indiana. The UASI
program provides the Tri-State Region the opportunity to enhance
regional preparedness efforts throughout the Tri-State Region which
is called “Southwest Ohio, Southeast Indiana and Northern
Kentucky (SOSINK)."
