The Davison County Emergency Management Office is focused on minimizing risks associated with natural disasters, including tornadoes, floods, and wildfires. The county is not currently under a burn ban, but residents are advised to exercise caution when conducting controlled burns. The office has also established emergency shelters in Mitchell, Mt. Vernon, and Ethan, which will be activated during severe weather events. The ongoing drought poses economic risks to small businesses and agricultural operations, but low-interest loans are available to mitigate financial impacts.
