The reality of today’s world demands that we be in a state of readiness, prepared to deal with an emergency at any time. These emergencies can be manmade or natural in origin, accidental or deliberate in nature. The elected officials in each town are legally responsible to plan for and to enact procedures that are designed to protect it’s citizens and property from the results of emergencies and disasters.

The United States Congress, in the “Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act,”, recognizes emergency management as a joint responsibility of Federal, State and Local government. Emergency Operations Plans for local governments are prepared by Fire Safety Management, Inc. as a comprehensive, risk based, all hazard emergency operations plan. We also provide for a hazardous materials assessment of your city, town or village, which can include a fire hazard analysis. Local government is the first to react to any emergency or disaster. This reaction must be one based on thorough planning and training if an effective response is to be made.

Fire Safety Management, Inc. can provide for your town:

• a comprehensive risk based emergency operations plan
• a hazardous materials survey of your city/town
• a first responder public safety analysis
• identification and planning for evacuation and shelter
• coordination of communications and planning with all necessary agencies
• collaboration and planning with the Red Cross and other local and state authorities
• a training schedule for your first responders to meet the emergency plan’s directives

The key to any successful emergency operation is proper planning and training. The absence of either one of these components will seriously hamper local government’s efforts to protect it’s citizens and property and introduce a tremendous liability issue to the town. Fire Safety Management, Inc. can help you prepare your plans today!
