Welcome

The Baytown Office of Emergency Management encompasses the Emergency Management Division and the ASK BAYTOWN INFOLINE. The Emergency Management Division coordinates all city-wide planning, preparation, mitigation, and response to natural and man-made disasters. We are committed to helping the citizens of Baytown prepare themselves and their families for all types of emergencies.  In addition to preparing our citizens, Emergency Management is also responsible for coordinating FEMA and Homeland Security Grants, pre-and post-disaster federal and state funding, and facility hardening projects. The Emergency Management Division is also responsible for managing the BAYTOWN ALERT telephone warning and information system, the Community Chemical Alert Siren System, and AM 1610 Emergency Radio System.

TheASK BAYTOWN INFOLINEand INFOWEB is also operated and managed by OEM. This system is a web-based portal available for helping citizens get answers or help with issues or concerns they may have.  Citizens are able to search a database of frequently asked questions and ask the question if it isn’t listed.  Citizens can also submit a request for services through the system and track the progress of those requests.

The Emergency Management Division also manages and co-chairs, with industry, theLocal Emergency Planning Committee(LEPC), which is a federally required hazardous materials planning and community education committee.
