Emergency Management Emergency Management Coordinator Mindy Christian Suite 331, City Hall, 500 Quartermaster Court Phone: 812-280-3258 Fax: 812-285-6536 Hours: 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., M-FThe City of Jeffersonville's emergency management efforts are intended to compliment the countywide effort that is the responsibility of the Clark County Emergency Management Director. The city is a participant in the National Incident Management System, which makes it eligible for certain state and federal funding relating to homeland security and emergency preparedness and response. Emergency Management plays a critical role in municipal operations ranging from Thunder Over Louisville planning and coordination to certain types of grant writing. Jeffersonville named Indiana's first StormReady® city
Jeffersonville has become the first city in the State of Indiana to earn the National Weather Service's StormReady® designation. Twenty-five of 92 Indiana Counties are StormReady®, but Jeffersonville is the state's first municipality to earn the designation. There are 1,648 StormReady® communities in the United States. The National Weather Service announced on August 20, 2010 that Jeffersonville had earned the designation. The designation means that city officials have demonstrated to the National Weather Service that the city actively monitors severe weather in advance of its arrival and has information systems in place to help get a jump on severe weather before it strikes. Defibrillators Installed at Two Parks
The units were paid for with a Homeland Security grant, with a small match from the Jeffersonville Fire Department. In addition to Shirley Hall Park and Woehrle Fields, the city has defibrillators available at City Hall, the Aquatic Center, Ken Ellis Center, Nachand Fieldhouse and on fire trucks.
