Public Safety – Emergency Management

The Town of Middlefield is dedicated to the safety and emergency preparedness of its residents and businesses. The Emergency Management Department develops and organizes the Emergency Operations Plan for the Town of Middlefield. Emergency Management coordinates with the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department, Resident State Troopers and other town agencies in the event of an emergency situation. We prepare and assist in the organization and direction of local and state resources during a town emergency.

Reminder, hurricane season is June 1st through November 3rd.
