Equity, Inclusion and Language Access
The Oregon Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is committed to ensuring its programs and services are culturally and linguistically appropriate in response to any emergency that may affect the state and its residents.
The Equity, Inclusion and Language Access Program consults, advises, trains and provides policy development in the areas of equity, inclusion, diversity, equal opportunity and affirmative action for emergency preparedness agencies across the state of Oregon.
OEM values equity and inclusion principles to ensure the state’s diverse populations feel empowered to provide feedback on how its services can be improved before, during and throughout the recovery phases of an emergency.
