Ensuring guest and employee safety is a cornerstone of operations at the OCCC. Our Emergency Procedure Plan was developed with the OCCC’s core value of safety in mind. It is intended to be a blueprint for the effective management of a crisis or disaster situation at the Center.

Clients must, at all times, conduct their activities with full regard for public safety. The OCCC asks for client assistance by supporting the procedures outlined in the Emergency Procedure Plan through cooperation and active listening in the event of an emergency. It is critical that, as facility users, all clients review this plan with their staff and their contracted event security service provider.
