Emergency Operations Center 1)Coordinate (inter-agencies / resources) 2)Conduit (additional resources) 3)MACRO vs Micro 4)Strategic vs. Tactics 5)Promote problem resolution at the lowest level. 6)Cascading Events 7)ANTICIPATE Needs

ANTICIPATION Activate EOC 1. EOC Website geo-mapping, on wall 2. EOC Action Plan 3. Information verified, share intelligence 4. Feeding, sleeping, shifts, breaks 5. Recovery Plan Water (Bottle, Truck, Pipeline) Sewer (Port-a-potty, infrastructure) Electric (generator, grid) Food-Feed (Field, Community, Shelters, EOC) Care and Shelter 1. Location, American Red Cross, Capacity-ADA Compliance 2.Animal Shelter / Control 3.Evacuation (notification- transportation- Community Health / Medical / Vector) Communications (News release, radio) 1. PIO Press releases 2. ACS/Ham 3. Joint Information Center 4. Public Health Information Release 5. Police-Sheriff Dispatch CAD 6. Social Media Security Triage / Hospital / Medical Supplies Debris (box, removal) Volunteer Management (Volunteer Ctr.) Donation Management (Salvation Army) Cash Donation (Finance Dept/ARC) Schools (Shelter in Place, Evacuation, Shelters) Shift Changes (field, EOC) Recovery Planning / Disaster Assistance Center 1.

Permit Process - Mitigation Proclamation of Disaster Damage assessments (Windshield, inspectors, engineers) Barricades, generator, batteries, vests... Staging Area 1. Resource Management 2. Demobilize / Redeployment

Begin with the End in Mind Anticipate needs. Put first things first Do Not Prioritize what is on Your Schedule, but Schedule your Priorities. Think Win - Win Success follows a Co-operative Approach more naturally than the Confrontation of “Win” or “Lose”. Seek First to Understand Then to be understood Diagnose before you Prescribe Synergize The whole is greater than the Sum of its Parts GENERAL TIPS

Recovery starts with Response Standing Contracts FACTS AND TIPS Relationships Document, Document, Document Debris 40% of costs No Free Money Use your resources first, good luck getting someone else’s money

TEST - Field vs. EOC Who does Tactics? Who does Strategies and not Tactics? EOC Main Function? Support Field Operations Via communications and coordination providing policy, prioritization, information management, resource management and public information Emergency Operation Center (EOC) Field Operations
