Muskogee is committed to fostering a culture of preparedness, and at the forefront is the City of Muskogee Emergency Management office. Driven by the mission of “Saving Lives,” this dedicated team actively engages with the community to impart crucial knowledge of emergency preparedness. The Emergency Management team focuses on sharing ways to minimize the effects of technological and natural disasters by preparing, implementing, and exercising preparedness plans, and coordinating actual disaster response/recovery operations. These devoted individuals, formally trained by the National Weather Service, willingly put themselves in harm’s way, providing on-the-ground, real-time severe weather information. They are responsible for storm-spotting, tornado alerting, flood watches, and disaster recovery.
