The Greenville County Office of Emergency Management is a function of the County Council, assigned to the Sheriff for day-to-day supervision. Emergency Management is staffed with a Director, Deputy Director, Administrative Specialist, Supply Officer, Program Coordinator, and a Catastrophic Planner. The role of Emergency Management is to coordinate the community's resources and efforts to prepare for, respond to, and recover from, large-scale emergencies and disasters. Emergency Management coordinates the community's efforts by requesting that organizations responsible for providing services to the community participate in the County's Emergency Management Program. The Office of Emergency Management coordinates this program with:

Emergency Planning	Logistic Support
Reference Materials	Operational Support
Liaison to State Government	Training Support
Communications Support

Emergency Management maintains and operates Greenville County's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during the event of a large-scale emergency or disaster. The EOC is located in the basement of Greenville City Hall and functions as the Command Center for all communications, directions, and plans during a natural or man-made emergency. The EOC also houses the Emergency Management Offices. The resource library in the EOC has brochures and pamphlets that provide valuable information on disaster planning, safety drills for home and school, and home safety preparation. These information materials are made available to Government and school officials, as well as the general public. Videos that feature disaster preparation, community planning, and emergency response, are also available.
