Description |
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Operations and Planning for All-Hazards Events course offers the participant training and practical experience with emergency management and decision-making skills necessary to effectively manage and EOC and the overall response to a large-scale Type 3 or 2 all hazards event utilizing the multi-agency coordination system (MACS). The course develops and reinforces the emergency management, situational awareness, planning, information management, resource management processes and decision-making skills for course participants. The course adapts existing emergency management [National Incident Management System (NIMS)/Incident Command System (ICS)] procedures to the unique requirements of EOC operations. Participants will learn the key functions and processes needed to effectively and efficiently manage EOC operations in a large-scale incident. Participants are coached by instructors from across the country who have emergency management experience in EOC operations. They use multi-agency coordination concepts, processes, and procedures and focus on key information management, resources coordination and situational awareness requirements within the EOC. The participants gain practical experience via scenario-based exercises that exercise the key processes taught in the course. Each participant gains a better understanding of the management requirements and skills necessary to effectively function as a member of an EOC during a large-scale event. Participants will respond to simulated expanding Type 3 incident that include mass fatalities, mass evacuations, and mass care of displaced citizens. Participants will communicate by radio with responders in the field and direct site security and search and rescue operations. These scenarios provide a truly unique opportunity to actually apply the skills necessary to work in an operational EOC.

Objectives |
At the conclusion of the course, the participant will be able to: * Identify how entities within the Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS) are interconnected during a response to any type of incident throughout all levels of response and government. * Differentiate between the various functions and roles "of" and "within" an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). * Discern how the choice of an EOC organizational model affects the performance of EOC functions and where they occur in the EOC. * Perform the management functions of the MACS as utilized by the EOC. * Perform the information management functions of the Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS), utilized by the EOC. * Perform the resource management functions of the Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS), utilized by the EOC. * Perform the planning functions of the Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS), as utilized by the EOC. * Operate within an EOC utilizing the functions within the MACS while supporting the response to a simulated large-scale incident. * Distinguish how critical areas of managing an all hazards, high-consequence incident response are applied in practice.
