The mission of the Wallowa County Department of Emergency Services is to assist in maintaining community well-being through disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery activities as directed by Oregon Revised Statue 401.

The term emergency means a set of circumstances which demands immediate action to protect life, preserve public health, protect property and essential services. Public safety organizations such as law enforcement, emergency medical services & public health, fire services and public works organizations are the first to respond to emergencies. The term disaster is used to reflect situations which overwhelm the capabilities of the local public safety organizations.
