Emergency Responder Applicants Can Get Free Training In Howell

HOWELL, NJ — The Howell Township Office of Emergency Management is looking for volunteers to join its team.

As a member of OEM, you receive free training, get to meet new people and you have the opportunity to help the community, the office said in a recent post.

There are a variety of functions and roles that are available.

You can become a responder, which involves responding to emergencies and car accidents, and participating in community outreach and supporting the OEM's partner emergency services agencies.

There is also a hazardous materials team. This team handles Hazmat resources and responses in conjunction with the Southard Fire Department Hazardous Material Team in Howell and neighboring towns.

A volunteer’s time and availability is valued, so the office tries to accommodate all schedules.

If you are interested in joining, go to the OEM page on the township website. There is an application form on the site and more information.
