⚽️ World Cup Match #1 at MetLife Stadium is in the books!

Yesterday, the first FIFA World Cup match at MetLife Stadium put months of planning, coordination, and partnership-building to the test for the Bergen County Office of Emergency Management

While fans enjoyed the action on the field, a tremendous amount of preparation was taking place behind the scenes. Staging areas throughout the region were staffed with law enforcement, EMS, fire service, and hazardous materials personnel, all standing ready to respond to any emergency that might occur—whether at the stadium or anywhere across Bergen County.

Through strong partnerships, detailed planning, and a unified commitment to public safety, emergency responders worked together to ensure that residents, visitors, and soccer fans could enjoy a safe and successful event.

Preparedness doesn’t start when an emergency happens—it starts long before. Bergen County remains ready. 🚔🚒🚑⚠️Bergen County, NJBergen County Police Chiefs AssociationBergen County Prosecutor's OfficeBergen County Sheriff's OfficeCloster Volunteer Fire DepartmentNorthvale Volunteer Fire DepartmentCarlstadt Fire DepartmentEast Rutherford Fire DepartmentWallington Fire Department

🚨 Training & Preparedness in Action 🚨

This past week, Bergen County Office of Emergency Management Emergency Planner Michael Marsh joined the Oradell Office of Emergency Management, Police Department, and Fire Department for a school evacuation and reunification exercise at the Oradell Public School.

The drill successfully tested the school’s ability to safely and efficiently evacuate students and staff to a designated reunification site. Surrounding municipal police departments also participated, helping to ensure the safety and security of the school population throughout the exercise.

Training exercises like these strengthen coordination among emergency responders, school officials, and partner agencies, ensuring a prepared and effective response to emergencies while enhancing the safety of our communities.
