The Office of Emergency Management and Special Events provides a single point of contact for event management and compliance, overseeing all aspects of special events that utilize City streets, public plazas, and Dorothea Dix Park in addition to oversight of private use of public space (PUPS) and outdoor dining. This office is also charged with protecting the citizens and environment of the City of Raleigh from the effects of disasters and emergencies through a unified and comprehensive emergency management program of prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery by local, State, and Federal partners, private industry and volunteer organizations.
