| When we look at diasaters, we ask ourselves, not "IF" one will happen, but "WHEN" one will happen. The disaster can be natural, as in floods, severe storms, etc., or it can be man-made, as in fires, chemical spills, etc. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| It is very important that we are prepared for any disaster that could strike our family, home, and community. The Marietta Borough Emergency Management Ageny has attempted to devise a comprehensive emergency plan to protect the lives and property of all the residents of the borough. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| The borough E.M.A. has a fully functional and equipped Emergency Operations Center (EOC), located next to the Pioneer Fire Co. station on North Waterford Avenue. This E.O.C. can be put into operation and fully staffed within 10 minutes of a disaster. |
|
|
|
|
| The borough emergency plan
has been checked and approved by both the LANCASTER COUNTY and the
Pennsylvania
Emergency Management Agency PEMA . |
|
|
 |

 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Your E.M.A. coordinator is Steve Bailey and the Deputy Coordinator is Tom McGlynn. |

their time to the Marietta
E.M.A. can contact
Steve Bailey on this web site, or leave a message at the borough office, and Steve will contact you. |
