Emergency Operations Center Volunteers (EOC)
In the event of an emergency, the Town of Paradise calls upon a dedicated group of volunteers who have been trained to support the Town in keeping the citizens of Paradise safe. Volunteers may help by answering phones, ordering supplies, and general support activities when an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated.
An EOC is not an on-scene incident command post (ICP) - where the focus is on tactics to deal with the immediate situation. An EOC is used to support on-scene activities through the prioritization of activities and the allocation of available resources. An emergency operations center (EOC) is a physical or virtual location designed to support emergency response, business continuity and crisis communications activities. Staff meets at the EOC to manage preparations for an impending event or manage the response to an ongoing incident.
