Okmulgee Emergency Management seeks to protect its citizens, reduce the loss of life and property, and promote a comprehensive plan of emergency that focuses on preparedness, response, risk reduction, and recovery for all man-made and natural disasters in cooperation with local, state, and federal law enforcement and government agencies. - OEM Mission Statement - For Ken Anderson, Okmulgee’s Emergency Management director, the OEM mission statement is an oath of active duty. You may know him as the one who puts on those grand firework displays every Fourth of July celebration for the city. But he also goes out along with our first responders to wrecks, fires etc. and assists them in their tasks.
