The Town of Wallkill Office of Emergency Management is tasked with developing and maintaining a Comprehensive Emergency Management plan, to deal the variety of emergencies the Town of Wallkill may be faced with. Whether the emergency is manmade or caused by nature, we must be ready to respond, mitigate and recover from the challenges caused by the emergency.
The plan coordinates the response of the many agencies within the Town of Wallkill, it also ensures that all town entities work together in the best interest of the people who live, work and visit the Town of Wallkill every day. In doing such; these efforts could be seen in response to a major emergency, as well as a response to an everyday emergency. The plan is tested on a regular basis and updated as needed; this ensures the response, mitigation and recovery phases will go as seamlessly as possible.
