The Warwick Emergency Management Agency Director is Major Rick Rathbun. The staff manages the Warwick Emergency Operations Center (EOC), a state of the art facility where key members of the City Departments gather during activations to determine situational status, coordinate actions and make critical decisions during emergency situations.
