State Hazard Mitigation Team

About the Team

The State Hazard Mitigation Team is a consortium of Oklahoma government agencies formed to plan and prioritize state mitigation activities. Mitigation is the act of reducing or eliminating the affects of a hazard. Hazards can be tornadoes, floods, terrorism, civil disorder, and many more. The team meets about four times a year to update the current plan for Oklahoma. Additionally, agencies are able to coordinate their activities with other team members.

Team Meetings

State Hazard Mitigation Team Meetings are open to the public

These meetings are posted on the OEM Calendar.
