Welcome to the Town of Framingham Emergency Management Agency (FrEMA) website. Renamed in 2002, Emergency Management was formerly known as Civil Defense. The name of the agency was changed in an effort to more accurately reflect the major responsibilities of the Department. In addition to Civil Defense, the Framingham Emergency Management Agency is charged with the administration and oversight of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), Homeland Security, and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the Town of Framingham.

There are nine sections to this website:
