Together, Building a Safer Community, Through Prevention, Preparedness & Response

Our department’s new Community Connect online portal gives YOU a new avenue for providing us information ahead of any emergency.

If you are a resident or business owner in the City of Columbia or Richland County, log on today to create a Community Connect profile for your property. Area residents who are renting property can also create an account!

  • tell us to where to find emergency shutoffs for your water service or the location of your breaker box.
  • provide information on occupants in your home who may have disabilities.
  • provide details on your pets.
  • and much more!
