Office of Emergency Management
The Borough of North Caldwell Office of Emergency Management (OEM) coordinates the plans and operations of the various components of the Emergency Management System consisting of police and fire, emergency medical services, public works, volunteers and other groups contributing to the management of emergencies.
The Emergency Management Coordinators are the “point people” responsible for implementing the Emergency Management Plan and directing the emergency response.
The Borough of North Caldwell has a state approved Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).This plan is constantly being revised and updated to maintain and raise the standards by which the Borough measures its effectiveness
Where appropriate, the OEM has authority to recommend that a Borough State of Emergency be declared. This enables the Borough to obtain county, state, and/or federal resources to aid the people of North Caldwell, in the event of a disaster. Once the crisis has ended, the emergency team will continue to work together, reassess the initial response and thereby ensure the Borough is even better prepared for any future emergency.
