Through MEMA regional offices, it coordinates the response to requests for aid from local authorities upon depletion of their local resources.
The Massachusetts Emergency Management Team (MEMT) is prepared and trained by the Operations Division. Membership in MEMT is comprised of the many state, Federal, local, volunteer, public and private agencies and organizations which are represented at the State EOC during activation for an emergency for better coordination of the Commonwealth's assets.
Operations Division also is responsible for updating and publishing the Governor's Emergency Notification Roster, preparing and maintaining MEMA's master calendar, and assuring that MEMA maintains a high degree of preparedness and readiness.
