Emergency Operations Centers (EOC)

An Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a centralized command facility where government officials, emergency responders, and agencies coordinate and manage responses to disasters or crises. It provides a dedicated space equipped with communication tools and resources to assess situations, make decisions, allocate resources, and coordinate efforts efficiently. The EOC ensures that all involved parties work together seamlessly, minimizing confusion and improving response effectiveness during emergencies such as natural disasters, public health crises, or large-scale incidents. It’s essential for organizing a swift, coordinated response to protect communities and save lives.
