The Town of Manchester by The Sea is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents through effective emergency management. Our emergency management program focuses on four essential functions:
- Preparedness: We work diligently to develop plans, conduct training, and run exercises that prepare our community for potential emergencies. This includes public education campaigns and collaboration with local agencies.
- Response: In times of emergency, our priority is to respond quickly and efficiently. We coordinate resources, support first responders, and provide timely information to the public to ensure safety during crises.
- Recovery: After an emergency, we focus on helping the community recover and rebuild. This involves assessing damages, providing assistance to those affected, and implementing recovery plans to restore normalcy.
- Mitigation: We strive to reduce risks and prevent future emergencies through proactive measures. This includes identifying vulnerabilities and implementing strategies to minimize the impact of disasters.
