Office of Emergency Management

We coordinate multi-agency responses to emergencies and disasters within Morris County. We are responsible for alerting and notifying appropriate agencies when disaster strikes.

We promote public health, prevent the spread of disease, and protect the environment through awareness, compliance, education, training, and emergency response.
