Emergency Operations Centre 100 - An Introduction to Emergency Operation Centres (EOC 100) focuses on the EOC and its components. The purpose of EOC 100 is to provide a basic understanding of emergency operations centres. EOC 100 will introduce the roles, responsibilities and functions of the EOC and expand on the facility itself. Staffing considerations will be discussed in regards to staffing levels, assignments, and support offered to the staff. Operational information, such as information management tools within the EOC, will also be explored. Finally, the process of activation and deactivation of the EOC is examined. This course, along with EM 100 - Introduction to Emergency Management and ICS 100 - Introduction to the Incident Command System, will prepare participants to function in minor roles in an EOC and provide a foundation for more advanced emergency management and EOC courses.
The course will take approximately 4 hours to complete. Allow 30 to 45 minutes to complete the knowledge check.
