| Emergency Management | ||
| • | Emergency Management is, hopefully,
a preparation function. It involves the development of an emergency
plan which will be effective when a full scale emergency plan or disaster
of any type affects Medford Lakes. The preparation for an emergency
involves the training of all the organizations which may be called
upon to work together to prevent or mitigate injury to residents and
property. The organizations which make up the Medford Lakes emergency
team include: the Police Department, The Fire Department, Public Works,
Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Damage assessment (Construction
official), Public Information and Finance (Borough Manager), Social
Services and a Municipal Government representative (designated Council
Member).
Emergencies beyond the capabilities of the Borough emergency organization requires coordination with the Burlington County Emergency Organization which can obtain State and Federal assistance. The Medford Lakes Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) is Steven Heicklen, FF/EMT/EMC. He is assisted by Pat McCorriston who is the Deputy EMC. The Councilman responsible for Public Safety and the Emergency Management function is Tim Casey. |
