Northern Ohio Public Safety Support

Northern Ohio Public Safety Support Our trained volunteers will deliver this service to agencies without a rehabilitation system or to supplement existing resources when requested.

Northern Ohio Public Safety Support (NOPSS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide essential rehabilitation service, as identified in NFPA 1584, during fires, technical rescues, training exercises, and other operations when requested. Our Mission:
To provide essential on-scene support—at no cost—to public safety organizations during emergencies and training exercises, ensuring responders have access to rest, recovery, nourishment, and hydration. Emergency incidents place extraordinary physical and mental demands on first responders. Many departments lack the staffing, equipment, or logistical capability to provide adequate on-scene rehabilitation. Our fills this critical gap by providing:
• Hydration and nutrition
• Cooling or warming stations
• Rest and recovery areas
• Accountability tracking under Incident Command Rehab Sector guidelines
