Leelanau County Office of Emergency Management / 911

The Office of Emergency Management operates as the command center for the County of Leelanau during a state of emergency.

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is staffed by representatives from local organizations and governmental agencies who form a unified decision making body. This group works together to prepare for and respond to areawide emergencies in Leelanau County. The staff strives to mitigate risk and maximize resources to protect lives, property, and the environment in a disaster. The Emergency Manageme

nt/9-1-1 Center is located in Suttons Bay, 2 miles east of the town of Lake Leelanau. The attractive new complex was completed in December 2004 and is now home to Leelanau County Emergency Management/9-1-1. Dispatchers are generally the first contact made during an emergency. They are considered a critical link between the public and Emergency Services. Leelanau County Dispatchers are highly trained in the latest technology, which allows them to offer the best possible service to the residents of our area. Dispatchers field all calls coming into the center using the Computer Aided Dispatch, CAD, system. The CAD system is interfaced with computer systems in the Emergency Services network, facilitating a quick dispatch of the appropriate agency in response to a request.

We've already received more snow than was originally expected. Snowy conditions will continue through the rest of the day before a quieter day on Saturday. We'll see another strong storm move in throughout the day on Sunday with accumulation totals possibly in the double digits.

Please plan accordingly and prepare for possible power outages. Have enough food and water on hand for at least 3 days. If you experience any power outages, you will need to contact your utility provider for estimated times of restoration. Should power outages become long-term, warming shelters will be identified and communicated out over social media and on our County website.

Winter is back with a vengeance!
MANY vehicles in the ditch this morning. Roadways are not the greatest. Snow, blowing snow, and limited visibility.

Do not drive unless you absolutely have to. Please allow the Road Commission to do their magic. Snow conditions will lessen in the afternoon, but strong winds will still create blowing snow and limited visibility.

Storm conditions should dissipate early tomorrow morning. We could see 8"+ when it's all said and done.

No one was reported to be inside the building and fire crews from Suttons Bay, Northport, Elmwood, Leland, and Cedar quickly responded to the scene. TC HazMat also responded and all crews are still working the scene.

Please avoid the area for the time being to allow crews room to work and move equipment in and out of the location.

M-22 and Division will remain open to traffic as will both entrances to Tom's. M-72 will be closed from the Tom's entrance to Division, and Bay St will be closed from M-72 to Ramsdell St.
