NWAB Office of Emergency Management / Search & Rescue (SAR)

The borough's Office of Emergency Management coordinates village Search and Rescue (SAR) response and fire/EMS incident reporting across the region. Village SAR teams and fire departments use standardized borough forms for major-event logs, personnel rosters, team prep checklists, search area maps, and incident reports; residents reporting damage after a disaster use the Initial Damage Report form. Contact the borough office to reach Public Safety or a village SAR coordinator.
