What is an Emergency Operations Center?
During an emergency, it’s important that our response is centralized and coordinated. Working from an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) allows us to quickly respond to emergencies and work with other agencies. During an emergency, our EOC will be operational within 2 hours.
