ESDA Coordinator Office

The City of Fairview Heights Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (FH ESDA) is established by Ordinance 190, Chapter 30, Article II. In addition to the ordinance, FH ESDA is guided by the Illinois Emergency Management Act, and state administrative rules as established in 29 Illinois Administrative Code Part 301.

The City of Fairview Heights has had an ESDA component dating back into the 1970’s. Over the years, the City has grown and changed. FH ESDA is one of only three accredited ESDA agencies in St. Clair County.

FH ESDA is managed by a Coordinator, which is the only paid position in ESDA. In August of 2006, FH ESDA was moved under the control of the Police Department. Assistant Police Chief Nick Gailius was appointed the ESDA Coordinator.

FH ESDA is charged with coordination of the city’s response to emergency management through all five phases: Prevention; Preparedness; Response; Recovery; and Mitigation
