OKLAHOMA CITY VA MEDICAL CENTER EMERGENCY OPERATIONS EXERCISE
Oklahoma City – The Oklahoma City VA Medical Center will be conducting an Emergency Operations Exercise on June 9th 2025 beginning at 9:00am.
The exercise is being conducted to prepare the OKC VA Emergency Operations team for real life incidents that may occur and ensure procedures are being followed to provide aid in the event of a mass casualty incident.
