The Town of West Seneca Office of Disaster Preparedness has many responsibilities. We conduct a hazard analysis of the Town and then develop a plan and resources to handle a hazard or emergency. We are also responsible for keeping the training records of all town employees regarding the National Incident Management System ( NIMS ). In 2007, we went online with Town of West Seneca Community Emergency Response Team (WS CERT ) We now have 92 members on our team. We also manage the Emergency Operations Center and Shelter during an emergency. During heavy rains and other weather events we monitor the creek levels and road conditions for hazards. Upon the notification of a fire, hazardous materials spill or any other type of emergency we respond to assist as a resource.
