PROGRAM INFORMATION & DATA:
 
 When a major emergency occurs, either natural or manmade, the Office of
 Emergency Management interacts with other emergency agencies from both the
 public and private sectors to coordinate response and relief activities.  This
 includes contact with agencies and departments from the local, State, and
 Federal governments.  This office is also responsible for maintaining and
 updating the local emergency operations plan, which serves as an operational
 guideline to agencies during significant emergencies.  Additionally, the
 terrorists attacks on America on Setpember 11, 2001, plus the subsequent anthrax
 incidents, has resulted in this office participating in training and preparing
 for acts of terrorism that could include the employment of weapons of mass
 destruction.
 
 DEPARTMENT GOALS:
 
 1.  Secure a vehicle for Enfield Emergency Management that will result in a
 greatly improved ability to respond to incidents and assist the Incident
 Commander
 
 2.  Conduct two emergency management workshops in Enfield with local agencies.
 
 3.  Upon request from the Incident Commander, respond to scene of emergencies to
 assist in operations.  Upon accomplishing the goal #1, develop an automatic
 response protocol.
 
 4.  Participate, when possible, in simulated exercises with local emergency
 response agencies.
 
 5.  Interact closely with emergency response and support agencies to improve
 local capability to swiftly and effectively mitigate emergencies.  Such steps
 may include, but are not limited to, planning, purchasing selected equipment as
 resources allow and implementing State and Federal guidelines under Homland
 Security.
 
 6.  Implement the new software program DIMS (Disaster Management
 Interoperability Services) that is being issued by both FEMA/US Department of
 Homeland Security and the State Department of Homeland Security/Office of
 Emergency Management.  This is a planning software program that focuses on
 emergency management.
