About The Office of Emergency Management (OEM)
Our Vision
The OEM envisions a future where the loss of life and property is minimized, and our institutions are safeguarded against all types of risks. To realize this vision, the OEM will take a proactive approach by spearheading and assisting the District in implementing a comprehensive emergency management program that is based on assessing and addressing risks. This program will encompass various crucial elements such as mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. In pursuit of this vision, the OEM will allocate resources toward Environmental Health & Safety, Risk Management, Business Continuity, First Response, Sustainability, and General Industry Safety Compliance.
Equity in Emergency Management
The OEM is committed to fostering an equitable approach to emergency management, which involves assessing individual needs and recognizing the complex systemic barriers that hinder progress. Our objective is to create emergency policies and practices that proactively address the requirements of marginalized populations. By doing so, we aim to enhance the protection of our campus communities and cultivate safer and more resilient learning and working environments that benefit everyone.
