Brown County Emergency Management is receiving nominations for the First Responder Recognition for the 1st Quarter of 2022.
Brown County Judge, Dr. Paul Lilly announced the new program in 2021 to recognize First Responders in Brown County for going above and beyond to serve the citizens of Brown County. This is a way to say a special “Thank You” for service.
Nominate a First Responder that you feel shows the dedication of those who take care of the community on a daily basis and help the citizens of Brown County through some of their most difficult times during an emergency. One First Responder is recognized quarterly during a Commissioners Court meeting.
To nominate someone, email a short note to the Brown County Office of Emergency Management (emc@browncountytx.org) with the name of the Responder, the agency that they represent date and description of why you think that they deserve the recognition.
These nominations will be reviewed and a quarterly First Responder Recognition will be chosen by the Chaplains volunteering to serve in the Brown County Office of Emergency Management Chaplains’ Service.
