About AGREM

We are an emergency management organization located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, providing support for the boroughs of Avondale and West Grove, and the nearby townships of London Grove, Penn, New London, Franklin, and London Britain.

We were originally established in 1999 as the The Avon Grove Regional Emergency Management Task Force, acting as a working group designated to help plan for, and respond to, any emergencies that might be triggered when the calendar year changed from 1999 to the year 2000.

Since those initial beginnings, the relationships established with the local municipalities have remained. AGREM changed from a task force to a regular working group, and the initial focus has shifted beyond the potential Y2K crisis to reflect more current events and needs. Major events such as terroism (9-1-1, Kansas City Federal Building bombing), Hurricane Katrina, the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and even the snowstorms that have impacted the East Coast over the past several years, have all served to highlight the importance of emergency preparedness.

Today AGREM continues in its mission, and in 2010 became an Incorporated entity and filed for designation as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Both actions designed to assist AGREM in representing the needs of the municipalities it serves through access to grants and other related funding sources that will support long-term projects without additional cost to the taxpayers in the AGREM service area.
