Emergency Services

Nelson County is dedicated to the protection of lives and property throughout our county when an incident occurs. Our goal is to plan for an emergency through preparation and planning, respond to the actual event, initiate the recovery phase post-event, and help mitigate the known problem areas to prevent reoccurrence, if possible.
