State Emergency Operations Center

Operations

The Operations Branch has two broad missions. It is responsible for developing, revising and maintaining the guidelines and procedures required to activate and operate the state Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during times of crisis. During these times, it is through interaction with the state EOC that local governments gain access to state assets critical to their ability to meet disaster challenges. Close coordination with the IT Division and Planning Branch is essential to keeping the EOC ready to activate to assist with hazards are far ranging as a possible catastrophic earthquake event on the New MadridSeismic Zone or a possible flu pandemic. Moving into the new EOC facility on Camp Joseph T. Robison has greatly increased the capability to meet these diverse threats.
