The Emergency Management/Disaster Coordinators handle the coordination of services in the event of an emergency in the Akron-Newstead area. They work closely with local officials and County, State and Federal officials to set up any necessary command centers and shelters. Our coordinators are highly trained local volunteer firemen who are cross trained in incident command management. In 2024 the Town took possession of an emergency response trailer that will be used in the event of emergency events within the town.
Anyone interested in volunteering and being a part of the Emergency Management Volunteer Team, please complete the form in the link and reach out to the coordinators listed above.
