Emergency Management
According to FEMA: “Emergency Management protects communities by coordinating and integrating all activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from threatened or actual natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other man-made disasters.”
OCCC Emergency Management is contained within the OCCC Police Department and primarily focuses on facilitating the 5 major phases of a disaster/emergency: Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.
