The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is the result of the recognition by both the Town and Village of Stillwater that a comprehensive plan is needed to enhance and guide the community’s ability to prepare, respond and recover from emergency or disaster events. The plan was prepared jointly with members of the volunteer Emergency Management Committee in coordination with Saratoga County and the State Office of Emergency Management. The plan constitutes an integral part of a statewide emergency management program and contributes to its effectiveness. Authority to undertake this effort is provided by both Executive Law Article 2-b and the New York State Defense Emergency Act.
9-1-1 Emergency Notifications
Saratoga County utilizes an emergency notification warning tool used to make rapid emergency telephone notifications to residents and businesses in precise geographic areas. The Code Red 9-1-1 emergency notification tool will be used by Saratoga County emergency officials, during emergencies only, to deliver incident-specific information or potentially life-saving instruction to those in the affected area(s).
The 9-1-1 emergency notification tool integrates mapping technology with phone databases, and will call listed and unlisted landline telephone numbers for Saratoga County residences and businesses.
Cellular phone numbers are not automatically included in the system database, nor are Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems.

Donations Management Appendix
This appendix defines the organization, provides operational guidance, responsibilities, and procedures to manage donated resources during an emergency or disaster affecting the Stillwater Community.
Emergency Pet Shelter Annex
Emergency pet sheltering, also referred to as pet-accessible shelters, is designed to meet the needs of people and their animals during emergencies and disasters. Animal owners are responsible for their animals, and should have a disaster plan prepared for their animals in case of evacuations or emergencies. Still, there will sometime situations where emergency animal sheltering is needed such as rapid-onset disasters, massive evacuations where hotels and boarders/vet clinics are full and evacuees who bring their pets with them.
Stillwater Community Shelter Annex
Events statewide have caused all levels of government to take a closer look at congregate care. This annex to the Stillwater Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is for use by local officials in addressing the threat of disaster which may require the activation of public shelters due to evacuations, need for temporary warming, cooling or feeding.
Hazard Analysis
On March 11, 2004, the Town of Stillwater conducted a hazard analysis using the automated program, HAZNY (Hazards New York). HAZNY was developed by the American Red Cross and the New York State Emergency Management Office. The results of this hazard analysis are presented in this report.
Mental Health/Psychological First Aid Response
This plan will cover four areas of emergency preparedness. Given the limited resources and number of mental health volunteers (MHV) available the plan is designed to meet the needs of the community in the following areas: Emergency Shelters, Emergency Operations Center, Community-wide Education, Limited response following a disaster (Psychological First Aid or PFA)
