Oregon Emergency Management is seeking input from communities and individuals across the state with an interest in helping shape the future of emergency management in Oregon. No emergency management expertise or prior experience is necessary, and all are welcome to take part.

There are two ways you can participate:

1. Take this brief survey by April 30 to share your view of the department’s mission, vision and values. This information will help craft Oregon Emergency Management’s 2023 to 2025 strategic plan.

2. Attend a virtual community town hall to provide feedback on the draft framework for the agency’s 2023 to 2025 strategic plan, which is a blueprint for how the agency plans to deliver excellent customer service to communities and partners across the state prior to, during and after an emergency.

At the town hall, you’ll be able to share your thoughts and feedback on the agency’s strategic planning to date and discuss key strategies for how Oregon Emergency Management can better serve the whole community.
