Edo State Emergency Management Agency is an agency in Edo State, Nigeria responsible for response to natural disasters.[1] The agency cooperates with the National Emergency Management Agency to coordinate responses to disasters.[2] The agency was reorganized in 2017 to integrate it more with other security agencies in the state and produce a more proactive response to potential natural disasters.[1][3]

The agency coordinates responses to local flooding.[4][5] After multiple major floods, the Agency began taking a proactive approach to work with local governments to prevent flooding before flooding events.[6]
