ABOUT THE ALAMEDA COUNTY OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES

The Alameda County Office of Emergency Services (OES) is located in the city of Dublin, serving a population of approximately 1.6 million residents across 14 incorporated cities, unincorporated areas, and multiple special districts within the 7th most populous county in California. The OES plays a critical role as the Regional Mutual Aid Coordinator for California’s Region II, which includes 16 counties. This responsibility involves the coordination of intra- and inter-regional mutual aid during large-scale emergencies and disasters.

The Alameda County OES collaborates with the 14 cities—Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Newark, Oakland, Piedmont, Pleasanton, San Leandro, and Union City—and numerous special districts to provide emergency management and disaster response services. These partnerships ensure cohesive planning, preparedness, and resource-sharing to address the diverse needs of the county’s communities.

The OES operates out of a modern, state-of-the-art facility shared with other key county agencies, enabling seamless collaboration. The OES team is composed of highly trained professionals who specialize in emergency management, disaster response, and community preparedness. The office coordinates closely with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as special districts, to ensure a unified response to crises, offering a comprehensive range of resources and expertise, including access to regional and state-level assets.

The Alameda County OES is operational 24/7, managing emergency notifications, resource coordination, and incident support. While much of its planning and coordination work is conducted during standard business hours, the OES remains ready to respond to emergent situations at any time, providing critical leadership and support in moments of crisis.
