Woodbridge Township Mayor John E. McCormac, along with the members and volunteers of the Avenel-Colonia First Aid Squad and the Avenel Board of Fire Commissioners, today unveiled a $10,000 REHAB Emergency Operations Tent & Command Center that will increase the Township’s response capabilities to emergency management operations.

“Public safety is the most important responsibility of municipal government. I’m pleased to announce that the foresight of the Avenel Board of Fire Commissioners and the Avenel-Colonia First Aid Squad in obtaining a new, mobile emergency operations shelter will greatly assist all Township emergency responders as they arrive on the scene of a disaster or emergency event. The REHAB facility is now available to serve the emergency needs of the residents of Avenel, Colonia and the entire Township,” said Mayor McCormac.

As part of Woodbridge Township’s Health Prevention Program, the Department of Health & Human Services has scheduled a series of public clinics and will administer H1N1 vaccine to ALL Woodbridge Township residents – adults and children regardless of age or risk group.
