City of Claremore

PROJECT PURPOSE

The COVIID-19 Pandemic exposed weaknesses in the emergency management chain-of-administration at the City and County levels of government. These weaknesses expressed themselves primarily in ineffective multi-jurisdictional communication and coordination of COVID relief efforts. In order to prevent future breakdowns in coordinated relief efforts during any local, state or national emergency, the City of Claremore in regional partnership with the following entities: Rogers County Board of County Commissioners, Rogers County Sheriff?s Office, Grand River Dam Authority, Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, Northwest Rogers County Fire Protection District, Tri-District Fire Protection District, Tiawah Volunteer Fire Department, Verdigris Fire Protection District, Limestone Fire Protection District, Claremore Fire Department, and Claremore Police Department Propose the development of a Regional Joint Emergency Management Training Facility that will bring together and centralize training activities for the first responders located in Rogers, Mayes, and Craig Counties. This facility will be central in our ability to breakdown the barriers emergency managers had to overcome during the COVID-19 pandemic and begin immediately providing relief to our most vulnerable citizens.
