Welcome!
This is the website for Avon Grove Regional Emergency Management, Incorporated. We are an emergency management organization located in Chester County, Pennsylvania
providing support for the boroughs of Avondale and West Grove, and the nearby townships of London Grove, Penn, New London, Franklin, and London Britain.
We encourage you to review our site to learn more about our organization, and what we do for the area we cover. If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer, or even just attend a meeting or two to see what we're all about, we encourage you to do so.
Our site is also about informing you, the public, about emergency management and both personal and business preparedness for disasters, be they natural or man-made. Given the importance of weather, we have placed critical information and graphics related to weather on our homepage to provide you with quick access to this information. Our weather page has additional information, so we encourage you to visit it as well.
We are a non-profit organization, and our website is frequently changed or updated by volunteers. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for our visitors, as we strive to provide the most recent information available to you.
Announcements/Notices
Mass Care/Shelter Operation Drill
The Chester County Department of Emergency Services along with the Red Cross are conducting a Mass Care/Shelter Exercise at the Avon Grove High School on Saturday, June 2, 2012.
Volunteers are needed to help in various aspects of shelter operations as well as to act as "residents" of the shelter. For more information, please read the flyer.
Reminders:
Emergency Notifications
We continue to encourage residents in our area, and throughout Chester County to sign up for Ready Notify PA . This is one of the many mechanisms available to the Pennsylvania, Chester County, and local emergency management teams to distribute important information to you via text, email, or cellphone.
Special Needs Registry
If you or anyone you know has a special need that could impact your or their ability to evacuate in the event of an emergency, please register in the Chester County Special Needs database. The website to register is: http://specialneeds.chesco.org/ . It is better to be loaded into this registry BEFORE the next major event occurs as it provides vital information to emergency management planners and coordinators. It short -- it helps us to be able to help you in the event of an emergency.
Next month's AGREM meeting will be on:
Thursday, June 21, 2012
at the New London Township Building
Radio Check at 5:30pm EST and
the meeting will start at 6:15pm EST
