Purpose of Emergency Operations Center

The purpose of the EOC is to provide a centralized location where public safety, emergency response, and support agencies coordinate planning, preparedness, and response activities.

Purpose of Emergency Operations Center

• The EOC does not command or control on-scene response efforts, but does carry out the coordination functions through:

• 1. Collecting, evaluating and disseminating incident information;

• 2. Analyzing jurisdictional impacts and setting priority actions; and

• 3. Managing requests, procurement and utilization of resources.
