OEM prepares list of residents The Township of Mahwah’s Office of Emergency Management is preparing a town wide list of residents with special needs. The list, to be kept strictly confidential, will only be used by emergency management personnel in the event of an emergency, such as a fire, flood, serious storm, or power failure in the township, in order to provide assistance to those with special needs. Special needs individuals include those who are confined to a wheel chair, who use oxygen on a continuing basis, are in need of dialysis, have mental or physical handicaps, hearing or sight impairments, are elderly or live alone, or are senior citizens in need of help in an emergency. Those residents with the special needs described or their care givers, should call the Mahwah Office of Emergency Management at (201) 831-2075 or e-mail a request to rroe@mahwahtwp.org to obtain a special needs registration form. Forms are also available at town hall. The list of names will be kept in a computer database and updated every six months. From this database, a Reverse 911 list will be developed. Mary A.
