Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management

The Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department (HSEMD) has been working to make Iowa more prepared for disasters since it began as the State Civil Defense Agency in 1965. The focus of emergency management and the hazards faced by Iowans may have changed in some ways since that time, but what hasn’t changed is the commitment to making our state more prepared for any emergency or disaster. Ensuring Iowa is prepared and ready to respond to any disaster drives the mission and priorities of HSEM.

Cities in Cedar County

Beautiful Cedar County, located in East Central Iowa, was formed in 1837 and is named for the mighty Cedar River, located on the Western side of the County. The area has had a fascinating role in history, from being the home of an active portion of the Underground Railroad to the boyhood home and burial spot for a former President. Our future looks to be very promising due to our central location and proximity to Iowa City and the Quad Cities.
