EMO Planning

Disasters and Major Emergencies may present difficult challenges for the Town of Indian Head. The effective exchange of emergency information & training with all communities in and around the Town of Indian Head, and more importantly those impacted directly by the event is critical to the success of the response for First Responders and the well-being of residents.

Planning for this exchange of emergency information between all responders, residents, businesses, media and government agencies greatly increases our Region's chances of an effective response and organized recovery from the emergency event. The Town of Indian Head EMO Planning Committee is comprised of a dedicated group of volunteers including Fire Department staff, First Responders from EMS, Administrators, elected officials, interested residents and Government Emergency Management and Fire Safety representatives. 

As a resident, knowledge is your best protection in an emergency. Knowing what to do in a disaster will help you to better control the situation and recover faster.
