Response & Recovery

State Emergency Operations Center

The State of Michigan Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is where state, local and federal agencies coordinate the response to a disaster, emergency or terrorist event. The governor, state director of emergency management and homeland security and other agencies direct all state resources at this center when responding to and recovering from an event. The facility is located in Lansing.

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) provides a consistent nationwide framework to enable partners across the Nation to work together to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity.

State, Local, Tribal and Territorial governments share the responsibility for protecting their citizens from disasters, and for helping them to recover when a disaster strikes. In some cases, a disaster is beyond the capabilities of the State, Local, Tribal and Territorial governments to respond. Use the links below to learn about disaster assistance and hazard mitigation.
