The Office of Emergency Management and Special Events establishes and maintains a strategic framework to efficiently guide and coordinate City resources in collaboration with external partners throughout emergencies and special events that utilize City streets, public plazas, greenways, and Dorothea Dix Park. The Office also oversees the private use of public spaces, outdoor seating, and is a liaison to the nightlife industry to ensure a more vibrant and safe community.
