Emergency Management

Bushkill Township is currently developing an Emergency Management Program which is compliant with the latest guidance provided as part of the National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) initiative mandated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  A draft plan has been established and all required Township staff and officials have received mandatory NIMS training.

Bushkill Township has its own police, fire, and ambulance services.

Northampton County offers an emergency notification service called Notify Northampton County, which is a software application used to send emergency alerts, notifications and updates to your cell phone, pager, BlackBerry, PDA and/or e-mail account. In the event of an emergency, such as a fire or September 11th- type attack, important alerts and updates may be sent right to your cell phone or mobile device. All you have to do is sign up for a Notify Northampton County account.  For more information, as well as to sign-up for this valuable service, you may visit the County website at https://www.notifync.org/index.php?CCheck=1.
