Emergency Management

Emergency Management involves systematic analysis, planning, and resource allocation to effectively handle hazards and mitigate their impacts. Key components include the execution of Emergency Operations Plans (EOP), coordination with Citizens Emergency Response Teams (CERT), and the use of systems like Interactive Community Notification (R911) and Integrated Flow Observing and Warning System (IFLOWS). The Fredericksburg Fire Department plays a crucial role in public safety, responding to emergencies and providing services like education and assistance. Key strategies in place also encompass hazard mitigation planning and operations center activation during disasters.
