The
Walpole Local Emergency Planning committee consists of town and school
officials including Fire and Police personnel. The committee meets
about every month to coordinate the integral roles each department
will be responsible for when responding to an emergency. The Committee
has been updating the comprehensive emergency management plan for
the Town. Its members have been trained in Incident Command and Disaster
Training.
The Walpole
LEPC partnered with the Walpole Health Department (with funding
from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health) and published
a pamphlet, "Live, Learn, Prepare." This pamphlet contains
information on dealing with disaster and about the new threats we
face. These were distributed through the Walpole School system.
More are available in the Health Department office at the Town Hall.
