West Mayfield, Beaver Falls, and Eastvale make up a Joint Emergency Management Services organization (J.E.M.S.).

West Mayfield Borough is responsible for implementing, reviewing, and updating its own Emergency-Operating Plan (EOP), which delineates its responsibilities in the event of an emergency or disaster.  When the Borough cannot provide specific support services, outside agencies such as the American Red Cross and Salvation Army are contracted through verbal and written agreements to provide the service needed. 

The Emergency Operating Plan is reviewed by the Borough Emergency Management  Coordinator and approved every 2 years by the FEMA, PEMA, and Beaver County Emergency Management.  West Mayfield Borough Council then approves the Emergency Operating Plan.

Emergency Management oversees 4 basic phases of emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The Mayor and Council work very closely with the Borough’s Emergency Management team to provide the support that is needed to be effective in all phases.
