North Brunswick Office of Emergency Management Coordinator Marrissa Heyman was sworn in at the October 20 Township Council Meeting, becoming the first female municipal OEM coordinator in Middlesex County history.
“To the residents of North Brunswick, I promise to take what I have learned over the years and if the need arises to be there for each and every one of you in an emergency,” said Ms. Heyman.
She has served as the Deputy OEM Coordinator since 2012.
“We congratulate Marrissa on this historic achievement,” said Mayor Francis ‘Mac’ Womack. “Marrissa’s dedicated service and experience will ensure our community’s needs will be met during any emergency situation.”
Ms. Heyman succeeds former OEM Coordinator Mark Cafferty, who served at the position since 2011 before retiring in July.
She thanked Mr. Cafferty, “for seeing in me what I didn’t see all those years ago and teaching me again and again that what can go wrong will go wrong in this town and showing me how to navigate through it all.”
