Emergency Management

What is Emergency Management?

Emergency preparedness can help limit the negative impact of urgent matters and critical events. Because of this, the OKC Department of Airports operates with emergency management systems in place, which consider every contingency, ensuring our travelers, employees, and visitors are kept safe while passing through our airports and territories.

Areas of Refuge

An area of refuge or safe room is a place in a building designed to hold occupants during a tornado, fire, or other emergency when evacuation may not be safe or possible. There are numerous areas of refuge located through all three OKC airports. View on the map.

See Something, Say Something

We all have a responsibility to ensure that our surroundings remain safe. Despite our busy daily routines, it’s essential to stay vigilant and report anything suspicious or out of place to the relevant authorities.

Remain aware of your surroundings and don’t hesitate to speak up if you notice anything concerning. Remember, we all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe.

Please also note that the Oklahoma City Police Department provides anonymous, non-emergency lines to report suspicious activity and keep Oklahoma City safe from terrorism.
