Emergency Operations Centre

The Emergency Operations Centre is the facility for co-coordinating its response for a major emergency or disaster. In an emergency, the Emergency Operation Centre is staffed by personnel representing departments as well as by trained volunteers. The Emergency Operation Centre supports all response activities in the field and provides overall direction to the responders.

Specifically it centralizes information about the emergency; co-ordinates emergency response across departments and with other agencies; identifies critical needs and establishes emergency response priorities; and provide timely information to the public concerning the emergency or disaster.

The Emergency Operation Centre comprises the following sections:

  1. national emergency preparedness week photoPolicy
  2. Operations
  3. Emergency Public Information Centre (EPIC)
  4. Planning and Intelligence
  5. Logistics (Acquisitions; Emergency Social Services; Amateur Radio)
  6. Administration – Finance

These sections operate under a modified Incident Management System in compliance with established standards. The Emergency Operations Centre Design plays a crucial role in planning and further training at the centre will help you to get the most out of it.
