Emergency Operations Center

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may be staffed with representatives from departments across the university based on a specific incident. The primary purpose of the EOC is to serve as a single focal point for information management, resource support/allocation, financial assistance and decision making. This center supports the on-scene commander during the entire disaster management and recovery process. The EOC is equipped with multiple telephone capabilities and other alternative communications. The communications link through the EOC allows direct contact with the Office of the President and emergency services provided by the city, county, state and federal disaster response agencies, as well as the news media.
