MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the participating tribes of the Inter-Tribal Emergency Management Coalition is to minimize the effects of disasters, (chemical, biological, technological, natural or man made), upon the Indian Tribes in Oklahoma by preparing for, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating against all natural and man made disasters. We will accomplish this by implementing, exercising, and coordinating preparedness plans and by assisting other emergency response departments within our Tribes, the Coalition, and the local Emergency Management agencies. This can be accomplished with training and mitigation of disasters, and by coordinating actual disaster response/recovery operations.
