UPPER MARLBORO, MD -  Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 16, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., Prince George�s County Executive Rushern L.

This 46,000 square foot building will house the Prince George�s County Office of Homeland Security�s Emergency Management Office, a new state of the art Emergency Operations Center, a 911 back up facility and the Office of Human Resource Management�s Public Safety Investigations Division. 

 

�Prince George�s County faces various emergencies and disasters every year and it is imperative that we provide our emergency management team with the advanced technology and facilities they need to do their jobs,� said Prince George�s County Executive Rushern L.
