Emergency Management
The mission of the Division of Emergency Management is to enhance the public safety of Lexington-Fayette County residents and businesses through emergency preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery.
Enhanced 9-1-1
If you have an emergency, you can contact emergency personnel any time day or night by simply dialing "9-1-1" from a residential, business, public pay phone or mobile phone within Fayette County. Communication officers or "call takers" will answer your 9-1-1 call as quickly as it is received. They will first determine the nature of the problem and inquire if you need the police, fire or medical personnel to respond.
