Mission: The Office of Emergency Management and Safety's mission is to create a safe, secure and “disaster-resilient” Akwesasne through prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.
The Office of Emergency Management and Safety's goal is to prepare Akwesasne to respond to, recover from and mitigate against natural and man-made emergencies and disasters. By achieving this goal the Office of Emergency Management and Safety works with local, state and federal agencies. We provide assistance in writing standard operating plans, training and exercises for our seniors, families and youth. We promote Emergency Preparedness through wellness days, seniorama, public service announcements and the Tribal newsletter, Kawennì:ios.
