The Brookhaven Highway Department, part of the Town of Brookhaven in New York, plays a vital role in maintaining public safety and emergency preparedness through road infrastructure management. Operating within the Emergency and Public Safety sector, the department is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and improvement of approximately 3,500 lane miles of town roadways. This includes snow removal, pothole repairs, drainage maintenance, and storm cleanup—essential services critical to ensuring safe travel conditions and efficient emergency response.

The department is also integral to disaster response, working closely with other public safety agencies during extreme weather events such as hurricanes or major snowstorms. Its commitment to community safety is evident through timely street clearing, the deployment of emergency crews, and its coordination with utility and law enforcement agencies during emergencies. The Brookhaven Highway Department remains a key force in protecting the infrastructure that supports first responders, schools, and residents.
