Custer County Disaster and Emergency Services (DES) goals are to build, sustain, and improve our ability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate hazards in Custer County.

We recognize that comprehensive emergency management requires strong partnerships with public, private, and non-profit partners, as well as with individual citizens. Engaging the whole-community results in robust planning intended to minimize the impact to our populations affected by disasters.
