L - Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) Teamwork Workshop
Ever wondered how to pull off an effective Emergency Operations Centre for those smaller, more frequent events? This workshop is based on a Hazardous Materials scenario and will interactively highlight those critical questions and thought processes required for an EOC to effectively support first responders working at the scene as well as impacted residents. Initial focus will be on all those regular tasks including activation, situational awareness, internal and external information sharing, communications, and documentation. There will be opportunity throughout the session to use the various forms and processes to gain a better understanding of what they are and how/why we use them. Through this practical application, you can learn what goes into an effective response and identify “next steps” for moving your own EOC team forward.
