This page is intended to provide basic information about major emergency incidents in Berrien County. When this is needed, we will likely declare a Local State of Emergency and activate our Emergency Operations Center. In some cases, the incident is so complex that the County needs to re-organize our Department organizational structure and require leadership from each Department to report to an Emergency Operations Center to facilitate teamwork and decision making. Many incidents are supported by Emergency Management using its day-to-day resources.

The Duty Officer will classify the incident to determine how much support and coordination is needed. The BCPSCC will contact the Emergency Management Duty Officer to inform the duty officer of the incident. BCPSCC is Emergency Management's 24/7 emergency call center. They will contact Emergency Management using the Berrien County Public Safety Communications Center (911). If they need additional help, they may request assistance from the Emergency Management Division.
