Middlesex Borough Office of Emergency Management(OEM): Who we are, What we do and How YOU can help

OEM is the managerial function charged with creating the framework within which our community and all communities work to reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters.

OEM using this framework seeks to promote a safer, less vulnerable community with the capacity to cope with hazards and disasters.

The Mission of Emergency Management (OEM)is to protect our community by coordinating and integrating activities necessary to build, sustain and improve the capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from threatened or actual natural disasters.

It is most important that people get involved and volunteer to help their fellow citizens. A prepared and coordinated Volunteer response can provide a more effective and timely response.

The generosity and kindness of people around the Boro does a lot to help our Boro residents heal and recover from Emergencies and the consequences of disasters that happen without warning.

How you can help. Volunteer and coordinate your volunteerism with experienced disaster relief organizations such as Middlesex Borough Office of Emergency Management and other Emergency Services in the Borough, so that the people in need of help receive it in the most timely and effective manner.

See You At The Volunteer Fair on April 20 at the Middlesex Library between 10 and 2.
