Operation Centers


The Emergency Operations Center (EOC)

In the event of an emergency, all Disaster Management Team members report to a central Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to coordinate decisions and resources.

The EOC is located in Cascade Hall. This building is located on the southeast corner of 15th street and Washington Way

The alternate EOC site (if conditions are unsafe at the Cascade Conference Room) is the Seed Lab Building located on the north side of Campus Way between 30th and 35th streets

EOC equipment and supplies are also maintained at designated locations. Supplementary materials are also stored in designated areas.

When the Incident Commander activates the Disaster Management Plan and convenes the Disaster Management Team, the Department of Public Safety opens the EOC facility; an ICS staff member arranges its equipment and supplies.

Satellite Operations Centers (SOC)

Satellite Operations Centers are located in Colleges and Units, and serve as the pivotal communications interface between the Emergency Operations Center and the campus community during a major emergency or disaster. SOCs gather emergency impact data from their areas and account for their personnel, transmit reports to the EOC, and disseminate emergency instructions to constituents.
