Ralph Caldwell coordinates all public
safety and private entities as it
relates to the handling of
extra-ordinary events within the City of
Springfield.
He works to create partnerships by
conducting collaborative planning
meetings with the public safety, health
and business communities focusing on
Threat Assessment, Prevention and
Preparedness of all emergency services
within the City. The office has

programs, and public awareness campaigns
on major incidents.
Other areas of concern include
developing and promoting appropriate
prevention measures to respond to
major incidents, to review existing
programs, and to provide a forum

business community, citizens and the
media to collaborate with related
issues. The Department has just
completed the City's Emergency
Operations Plan, which details how first
responders will deal with a variety of
emergencies. |
