Wantage Emergency Management Coordinator Joe Konopinski and the Mayor and Committee of Wantage Township have issued instructions on what Wantage residents should do in an Emergency or Evacuation. The Emergency Plan represents a detailed information packet, which should be reviewed and understood before an emergency happens.
To be prepared for an actual emergency, residents may wish to keep the one-page summary sheet readily available as a quick reference. Put it on a bulletin board; attach it to your refrigerator, or keep it handy in a place you will be able to find it if needed."
Detailed information can be found on these pages:
