The Emergency Response Center
About this Website
This website is intended for your use in advance of a disaster or emergency. Being prepared and planning ahead are the first steps to a safe and calm disaster response. If you cannot find the answer to a particular question about emergency preparedness on this website, you may call the Tompkins County Department of Emergency Response at 257-3888, during business hours. If you are in danger or need immediate help (medical, fire, police) in an emergency, dial 911 in Tompkins County.
This site was produced with the support of a grant from the New York State Emergency Management Office (NYSEMO), in-kind contributions of community partners, and community volunteers. The Town of Dryden administered the grant and coordinated the completion of the project.
