The Mayor's Office of Emergency Preparedness coordinates the inter-disciplinary efforts of City of Boston Departments and those of neighboring towns and cities to effectively prevent, respond to, and recover from incidents of terrorism.

The Office of Emergency Preparedness achieves this in a variety of ways. First, it seeks to obtain, allocate and manage state and federal funds designated for Emergency Preparedness initiatives. Secondly, it works to facilitate communication and cooperation across towns and cities in specific disciplines, such as Law Enforcement, Fire Safety, Emergency Medical Services, and Government Administration. Working together, these groups identify areas and projects of strategic importance and develop comprehensive methods for addressing terrorism concerns.
