The National Emergency Management Agency (Tobago) was established in accordance with The Tobago House of Assembly Executive Council Minute No. 64 of March 09, 1998. Through NEMA and by extension, the (National Disaster Management System) this island would benefit from a comprehensive disaster management approach.
Focused on prevention, preparation and mitigation against disasters, as well as emergency response, rehabilitation and recovery from such events.
However, the national government created a new organization for disaster management called the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management as a division of the Ministry of National Security.
While formation of the ODPM made the name NEMA Tobago extraneous since it was no longer a national entity; NEMA Tobago remained though, functioning out of the Office of the Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly.
