 The Office of Emergency Management is the unit of local government created under New

 Jersey law to provide for the health, safety and welfare of our citizens during times of

 emergency and disaster. Severe weather, floods, hurricanes, chemical spills, explosions,

 building collapse and plane crashes can all happen at any time.

 The main focus of the Office of Emergency Management is to coordinate actions to

 mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from the effects of an emergency. The

 Borough Council of the Borough of Union Beach appoints an Emergency Management

 Coordinator and two Deputy Coordinators to prepare disaster management plans,

 declare a "state of emergency" if needed, and coordinate the responses of emergency

 personnel within the Borough.

 The Emergency Management Plan establishes emergency procedures and coordinates

 activities involving Alerts and Warnings, Damage Assessment, an Emergency Operations

 Center, Evacuations, Fire and Rescue, Hazardous Materials, Law Enforcement, Public

 Works, Public Health, Resource Management, Radiological Protection, Shelters and

 Social Services Reception and Care along with Memorial School.

 This office is also responsible for providing the public with up to the minute information

 on all disasters and emergencies as needed through its radio station at 1610am.
