The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is responsible for preparing and implementing the Township’s Emergency Planning Master Plan. The Master Plan helps prepare the community for man-made and natural disasters. In the event of a disaster, OEM coordinates all the emergency service departments (including Police, Fire, and First Aid), and manages the disaster to ensure that the FEMA command structure and reporting are initiated. The OEM Coordinator also tracks the required training for Township emergency service departments, holds drills, and coordinates events. In addition, OEM develops and implements improvements for “First Responders”.
