“Middlesex County is committed to supporting ongoing disaster relief efforts in response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene.
At the request of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), and coordinated through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Middlesex County Office of Health Services, Special Operations Unit, has deployed three vehicles and six staff members to transport federally funded equipment to HHS/ASPR in Frederick, Maryland, to assist with recovery operations.
Additionally, the Middlesex County Office of Marketing has contributed two full boxes of hooded sweatshirts to provide much-needed comfort to those affected by the hurricane.
The Board of County Commissioners is proud to partner with federal agencies to assist our neighbors in the South during their time of need.
Middlesex County's dedication to Hurricane Helene relief efforts is a testament to our commitment to helping our neighbors.
It is our collective responsibility to bring relief, hope, and strength to those impacted during a crisis.
At home, Middlesex County’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) prioritizes the safety and preparedness of our residents and communities.
Earlier this year, the County launched its "Be Ready" campaign, designed to educate residents about disaster preparedness and provide the tools needed to minimize the impact of emergencies and natural disasters.
