EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT | TOWN OF SMITHTOWN DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

Actively involved in all phases of preparedness for natural and man made emergencies and disasters. Coordinates drills conducted with local fire departments, police departments and other emergency responding agencies. In time of an actual emergency the Department integrates activities of its own Divisions as well as those of local, state and federal agencies. As part of this Division, the Department maintains a Townwide Communications Center which, in the time of an emergency, is the "hub" of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). In addition uses the Suffolk County Emergency Preparedness Registry which is a protected database containing information about individuals in Suffolk County with Special Needs. The information collected will be used for disaster planning and public health purposes by Suffolk County. The Registry is designed as a means to efficiently contact individuals with special needs, reduce duplication of effort and help individuals get assistance during a disaster.
