Spotlight On: Erath County Emergency Management (Stephenville)

Shout Out!

By JJ Conway, publisher of Macaroni Kid Stephenville - Weatherford November 5, 2022

The last month had the makings of a bad B movie: threats, fires, and other wonky situations that threaten our families' safety and security.

 We all know how essential Law Enforcement and First Responders have been in keeping our kiddos safe... but did you know there's another agency that's essential to the success of our County's handling of these issues? Well now you do! 

Today's spotlight is Erath County Emergency Management

Erath County Emergency Management is the lead agency for emergency situations, including preparation, response, and recovery in Erath County, TX. This includes natural disasters, severe weather incidents, civil unrest, and other events that pose a major threat to public safety or significant disruption to civil society. 


You may contact Emergency Services for questions about:

  • Erath County emergency preparedness
