Emergency Preparedness
The Orient Association wishes to help inform the residents of Orient about preparing, responding and recovering from emergency events that affect our community. It will work with the Southold Office of Emergency Management and will support the Orient Fire Department by allowing them to concentrate on true emergencies while the Orient Association will distribute timely and essential information.
