Emergency Operation Center

An Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a designated facility where officials and agencies coordinate responses to emergencies such as natural disasters, accidents, or public health crises. It serves as a central hub for gathering information, making decisions, and deploying resources efficiently. The EOC ensures that different teams—fire, police, medical, and government agencies—work together seamlessly to protect the community, manage communication, and implement response plans. Think of it as the command center that helps organize and direct efforts during a crisis to minimize impact and support recovery.
