The Tinley Park Emergency Management Agency (EMA) organization has been in existence since the early 1950s. Today, EMA provides both emergency and non-emergency support to other Village public safety agencies. EMA also provides mutual aid support to other community and township-based emergency services units.

Tinley Park EMA is a community-oriented organization assisting other groups with community and area events. The organization is made up of local citizens like yourself. Each is of varying age, occupation, skill level and lifestyle. All EMA members are high-spirited volunteers who are concerned in fulfilling their role in the community, dealing with any emergency or disaster situation that they are called upon to handle.
