RCEMA Situation Reports & Emergency Information

This page contains links to Situation Reports issued for major emergencies and disasters that affect Ripley county, and provides a centralized point from which to view them.

Typically during large-scale emergencies, Situation Reports are issued at a minimum of every 12 hours, more frequently during the initial stages of the event. Although these reports contain the same information provided to other county, state and federal agencies, some details such as names may be omitted from the public version to protect privacy of individuals, details of ongoing investigations, and other information that may not be suitable for release to the general public. Note also that each subsequent report may contain corrections or modifications of details from previous reports and will not contain information from previous reports, therefore you are encouraged to read all of the reports for a single event rather than just the last one.

RCEMA coordinates and records details about many different events each year. The significant emergencies fall into one of two categories:

Incidents: Incidents are emergencies that involve fatalities, hazardous materials, or any other event that involves a response from a county, state or federal agency, excluding RCEMA.

Missions: These are major emergencies and/or events that involve a response by RCEMA personnel and/or multiple county and state agencies.
