Lawrence County is nestled in the Northeast corner of Arkansas. Home to Lake Charles State Park, the historic Powhatan Court House, the Walnut Ridge Regional Airport, Williams Baptist College and much more, the county is known for its beauty and the diversity of its landscape. Its terrain varies from flat fertile farm fields on the eastern half to the rolling hills on the western half. Lawrence County is truly one of the most beautiful places in our state.
One of the most important task of the Office of Emergency Services is to form a link between the Federal Government (FEMA) and the local departments that make up the Lawrence County Emergency Services. Our department is responsible for securing grants set forth by the Federal Government and helping distribute those funds to Fire and Police to obtain needed gear and training. The Lawrence County OES works with city police departments, volunteer and paid fire departments as well as the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office.
The Lawrence County Office Of Emergency Services offers support to any agency in the county, we also work with our surrounding counties by either assisting others or requesting assistance from their agencies.
