From the Warden's Desk - Emergency Preparedness
At Northumberland County, we are here to help you plan and remain safe throughout an emergency situation.
The Northumberland County Community Control Group is a team of professionals who will assist the emergency response services of our seven municipalities during a large scale emergency.
The team will coordinate Fire Mutual Aid, Emergency Medical Services, Public Works Mutual Aid, Emergency Social Service in evacuation shelters, Police Service assistance, and Public Health Inspection.
You can assist emergency staff greatly if you are self sufficient for the first 72 hours during an emergency. This will allow time for emergency services to prioritize response. You are encouraged to prepare a 72 Hour Survival Kit and an Emergency Evacuation Kit.
Thank you for taking the time to become familiar with the material in this Emergency Preparedness Guide (3.77MB). If each of us participates in emergency readiness, a tragedy or disaster may interrupt, but not destroy, the quality of life we enjoy in Northumberland County.
