Better way to write multiple if conditions in python

This is my code. It involves multiple if conditions. Is there any better way to write it. it looks bit messy. I am sure python has some design pattern or built in functions for that.

Thanks in advance.

***> ui_site_groups = []

    ui_sites = []
    ui_departments = []
    department_refs_uuid = []
    site_uuids = []
    site_group_refs_uuid = [] 
      for key, val in topo_map.iteritems():
            if obj_type == 'SITE':
                if key == 'site':
                    ui_sites.append(val)
                if key == 'site_uuid':
                    site_uuids.append(val)
            if obj_type == 'SITE-GROUP':
                if key == 'site-group':
                    ui_site_groups.append(val)
                if key == 'site-group_refs_uuid':
                    site_group_refs_uuid.append(val)
            if obj_type == 'DEPARTMENT':
                if key == 'department':
                    ui_departments.append(val)
                if key == 'department_refs_uuid':
                    department_refs_uuid.append(val)***
