Maintenance of This Page
The Mahwah Township Office of Emergency Management will continue to maintain and update this page. Please consider the page as constantly under construction. In case of disaster, our best defense is being sure each and every one of us is aware of what to do and how, when and where to do it. "Be prepared" is not just a motto, it is an absolute necessity.
How We Aid the Emergency Services Plan
Every municipality and county in the state is required by law to have an approved emergency management plan. The plan considers all aspects of emergency services. The Local Emergency Planning Council (LEPC) identifies which hazards endanger their community and plan accordingly. LEPCs usually consist of traditional emergency personnel such as police, fire, and emergency medical services (EMS), as well as non-traditional emergency personnel such as the Health Department, Public Works, Engineering or Building Department, School board members, finance personnel, etc.
