About the EMA Commission
The State of Iowa requires local jurisdictions to follow Iowa Code Section 29C.9, which states that the county boards of supervisors, city councils, and the sheriff in each county shall cooperate with the department to establish a commission to carry out the provisions of this particular chapter.
The EMA commission is comprised of a member of the board of supervisors, the sheriff, and the mayor from each city within the county.
