Weston's
Emergency
Management
Current Advisory
Chart Composition
The Office of
Emergency Management
is committed to the
safety and security
of our people and
our town. As a
department, the
Office of Emergency
Management is
responsible for
handling emergencies
that arise from both
natural and man-made
disasters. In order
to do so, the Town
of Weston has a
comprehensive
Emergency Operations
Plan that details
what each department
(such as Fire,
Police, and EMS) in
the town is required
to do during an
actual emergency.
Notifications of an
emergency will be in
accordance with the
town plan that
includes the use of
the air raid sirens
and vehicles
equipped with public
address systems as
well as local TV and
radio stations.
The Town of Weston
Emergency Operations
Manual that contains
the Emergency
Operations Plan and
annexes for all
municipal
departments has been
updated and was
signed by Mr. Woody
Bliss on September
16th. We
are now currently
working with our
municipal neighbors
and the South
Western Regional
Planning Agency to
create both
terrorism and
bio-terrorism
annexes to add to
the Emergency
Operations Manual.
These annexes will
provide valuable
information to our
emergency responders
and citizens in the
case of a terrorist
attack.As always, we
are in constant
contact with the
State of Connecticut
Office of Emergency
Management, the
American Red Cross,
and the Office of
Homeland Security at
both the federal and
state levels in
order to ensure the
safety and security
of our community.

to better prepare
yourselves and your
homes in the case of
