The Office of Emergency Management provides resources to our emergency service agencies (Police, Fire and Ambulance) when a situation arises that cannot be handled by the agencies themselves. Emergency Management personnel are responsible for coordinating services and resources. During a disaster or in extreme situations, the Coordinator and Mayor would issue a declaration of emergency for Blairstown Township. In this situation, the Office of Emergency Management would become the lead agency. |

The Office of Emergency Management contact number is 908-362-6663, ext. 226. (PLEASE DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER FOR EMERGENCIES.) FOR EMERGENCIES, DIAL 9-1-1. | ||
