Emergency Operations Center

Shorter Emergency Operation Center is a uniquely equipped facility that serves as the home to the Town of Shorter Police, Fire, and Communication Departments, as well as the Shorter Municipal Courtroom.

Day-to-day operations are handled by our local officials and first responders; and, interagency coordination efforts such as continued communications, emergency power and water supply are sustained to ensure uninterrupted services and support for the Shorter Community during a disaster or emergency incident. The primary mission of the Shorter Emergency Operations Center is to provide the most effective, efficient and respectful emergency services, in a coordinated effort to prepare for, respond to and recover from any natural or manmade crisis or disaster to save lives and minimize the loss of property, restoring the lives of our community to pre-disaster conditions.
