Emergency Operations Center

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is staffed and open if a State of Emergency is declared. The (EOC) or Command Center is a place where emergency managers and responders meet in order to direct the response to the immediate incident. Access is limited only to those people who are directly involved and authorized. Make sure your emergency contact list includes the number for the Heath Emergency Operations Center (413) 337-4461.

Heath uses an emergency notification system to provide residents with critical alerts using reverse 9-1-1 calls. All residents who have requested to receive notifications are called in the event of an emergency. To be added to the Reverse 9-1-1 call list, contact the Town Coordinator.

If you are unable to access a phone or the internet in a state of emergency, keep in mind that the EOC will be open and is a resource to get help.

For Emergencies, DIAL 9-1-1.
