Mohave County Launches Bold Initiative to Split Risk and Emergency Management Divisions

Mohave County is undergoing significant administrative changes. In a recent communication to the Board of Supervisors, County Manager Sam Elters proposed the separation of the Risk and Emergency Management Divisions. This move aims to enhance operational efficiency and clarify responsibilities within the county’s administrative framework.

The two divisions, which were merged several years ago, have faced challenges in management and resource allocation. By reinstating their independent operations, officials believe they can better address risks and emergency responses tailored to specific needs. Elters emphasized that this reorganization reflects a commitment to improving county governance.

The decision will likely undergo further discussion and evaluation among the Board members before implementation. Stakeholders in the community are encouraged to engage in this dialogue, as the changes may impact various local services. More updates will follow as the Board assesses the proposal.
