Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
Emergency Management assists in coordination and support for on-scene operations during low-frequency and high-risk incidents. This generally involves multiple departments, agencies, jurisdictions, private, and nonprofit organizations. These EOC partners strategize together within EOC structure to provide systematic coordination of resources and information to local incident commands, and other end users.
