The simple, yet effective, design of the EOC SimCell means that anyone can be a controller in the EOC SimCell. Easy-to-follow instruction manuals and a 35-minute training CD can prepare controllers in less than an hour.  Local responders from fire, law enforcement, emergency medical, and public works, or other agencies make ideal candidates.

The EOC SimCell training CD is a 35-minute, narrated PowerPoint presentation for mat controllers. It demonstrates how to operate each control mat and is a quick way to become familiar with the EOC SimCell. The training CD facilitates group or individual training.

Each control mat has its own instruction manual with plenty of diagrams for setting up and operating the control mat.

Control mats help EOC SimCell controllers insert exercise events and accurately process requests for simulated resources and information.
