Emergency Services Committee
Charter
The Emergency Services Committee (ESC) reports directly to the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors (BOS) and is responsible to advise and make recommendations to the BOS on all areas as they relate to emergency services communications. Such areas are defined as but not limited to:
- Communications
- Organization design/personnel
- Technology
- Economic Development
- Education/training
- Public Safety
Emergency Alert System
The County of Cumberland has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the county in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as an hazardous spill, missing child or evacuation notices).
The system is capable of dialing 50,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.
THIS SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE USED FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES.
Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized:
- Drinking water contamination
- Evacuation notice & route
- Missing person
- Fires or Floods
- Bomb threat
- Hostage situation
- Chemical spill or Gas leak
and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential for life safety.
Scheduled Meetings
Third Thursday of each month, 7:00 PM at the Cumberland Volunteer Fire Department (dinner at 6:00 PM) unless otherwise indicated.
