Dedicated to protecting our community from all types of emergencies. Our mission is to ensure the city is prepared to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from any disaster, whether natural or man-made.
Our Approach to Emergency Management
We work closely with various city departments, including the Lynn Police Department, Public Health, and Public Works, as well as state and federal agencies like the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This all-hazards approach ensures a coordinated and effective response when seconds count. We also partner with local nonprofits and volunteer groups, such as the American Red Cross, to provide comprehensive support during a crisis.
How You Can Prepare
A prepared community is a resilient one. We encourage all residents to take an active role in their own safety. By making a disaster supply kit, creating an emergency plan with your family, and staying informed, you can significantly improve your ability to handle an emergency.

The program provides monetary rewards to individuals who provide information resulting in the arrest and conviction of the responsible parties. Over the course of the program, more than 200 communities have participated in the Arson Tip Award Program. In Massachusetts, a Reward Selection Committee, comprised of a representative from the Office of the Attorney General, Commissioner of Insurance, MA State Police, and two representatives of the Property Insurance Industry, reviews all nominations and makes the final decision in granting rewards. In Rhode Island, this Committee is comprised of a representative from the Department of Public Safety-State Fire Marshal, Department of Business Regulation Insurance Division, Fire Chiefs Association, and Police Chiefs Association. Any member may recuse him/herself for good reason. All individual rewards are granted based on the amount of information that is given and the extent of assistance the information provides in solving an arson crime, with a maximum of $5,000. Forty-five percent of reward recipients agree to a public presentation with media coverage. No Reward Application will be considered until after an indictment has been made.
* Public presentations are not mandatory. This decision is left up to the recipient.
