Somerset County Conference Resources:

After much thought and consideration, the Somerset County Office of Emergency Management has decided to cancel the 2020 Somerset County Emergency Management Conference which was scheduled for June 10^th, 2020.

 This was not an easy decision for our office to make since last year’s conference was a very rewarding event; however for the health and safety of our participants, it was a choice we had to make. We look forward to re-evaluating the COVID-19 incident as the year progresses so we can plan for our next Emergency Management Conference.

 Thank you for your continued support throughout this difficult time.

 Stay Safe!
