The Oklahoma Emergency Management Association is made up of Emergency Managers from across the State of
Oklahoma.  The Association assists state, county, municipal and tribal emergency managers and their staff in furthering
our continuing mission to minimize the effects of attack, technological and natural disasters upon preparedness, and by
coordinating emergency response and disaster recovery operations.

All Association Officers serve the O.E.M.A. on a volunteer basis, and dedicate many man-hours to the furtherance of
the Association's objectives.
