Tab 3: EOC Overview

 

Purpose of the EOC

    1. To develop and maintain awareness of the emergency situation for the Chief Executive Official or Representative.  The EOC must receive, analyze and display information about the emergency that enables Chief Executive Official or Representative to make decisions.  The EOC demonstrates this by displaying information, data and needs in the EOC.

    2. To centralize coordination of emergency resources.  The EOC must find, prioritize, assign and track critical emergency resources. The EOC demonstrates this by displaying information about completed coordination.

 

Operations Room's Role

The Operations Room plays a central role in the EOC. The EOC Manager supervises the Operations Room through the Operations Chief who in turn directs the EOC Staff Function Coordinators and other staff.

All responsibilities within the EOC are important. However, the Operations Room is key to centralized coordination.
