Delaware County Planning Department
The Emergency Services Office was created in 1991 after the Delaware County
Board of Supervisors realized the need to establish a full time centralized
office for emergency management.
The Emergency Services Office has strived to fulfill its mission to improve
the quality of the County’s ability to prepare, respond, recover, and mitigate
life changing events which affect its' nearly 50,000 residents.
Currently the office is charged with managing a multitude of tasks regarding emergency
management. Some of the responsibilities include fire coordination, EMS coordination,
New York State EMS course sponsorship, AHA training center, 911 oversight and policy
development, County addressing program and managing all aspects in regards to the County’s'
comprehensive emergency management plan. The Delaware County Department of Emergency Services
is proud to work hand in hand with all of the Fire and Emergency Medical response units which call Delaware County home.
