The Borough of West Cape May Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will ensure, thorough coordination with Cape May County and local stakeholders, that the Borough of West Cape May is prepared to respond to, and recover from, all natural and man-made emergencies.  The OEM will work to reduce the loss of life and property through an all-hazards emergency management program of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery throughout West Cape May.
The goal is to reduce the impact of hazards that may affect our town through the following:

  • Host education and community outreach training programs in the areas of mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, detection, prevention, and protection.
  • Create partnerships with local public and private groups and businesses. 
  • Identify and assist in the mitigation of natural and man-made hazards.
  • Develop and maintain plans for major emergencies/disasters that may occur.
  • Establish annual training programs and exercises to test agency and department emergency response plans and procedures.
  • Provide direction and coordination to identify and manage the additional presouces needed for a major emergency/disaster response.
  • Gather and disseminate information to the public, media, and local government agencies to assist in the preparation, response, and recovery from major emergencies/disasters.
  • Serve as a focal point for coordination and liaison of activities between local, county, state, and federal government in the response to and recovery from, major emergencies/disasters.
  • Comply with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the New Jersey Emergency Management requirements for receipt of program funds.
