EOC equipment and supplies (laptops, cellphones, printers, chargers, in-ear monitors, D-Tens, etc.) are maintained and stored by the Department of Public Safety, and this role is fulfilled by the Facilities departments at each campus. The Department of Public Safety is responsible for the planning and general management of the EOC facility and its resources. They will assemble appropriate data, equipment and supplies. They will prepare an EOC Resources Directory, containing critical internal and external contact information and emergency action checklists. Emergency Operations Center Depending on the emergency, the President or IC may direct the implementation of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The EOC is established and is most often directed and staffed by CIRT personnel who will be asked to report to the EOC immediately in times of an emergency; however, local authorities (police, fire, FEMA/IEMA, etc.) may take over this management depending on the emergency. An EOC will be utilized for all multi-agency responses. The EOC provides one location from which the response to an emergency will be coordinated. It is the central meeting and gathering location for critical management and support personnel, and serves as an incident support operations and resource center. Laptop computers and essential daily operating supplies will be brought to the EOC by each department at the time of activation, or as soon thereafter as possible. The functions of the EOC consist of the following: 1. Coordinates all activities for operating units. 2. Provides support, assistance, and supply for operating units. 3. Provides a communications base. 4. Obtains local, state, and federal assistance as needed. 5. Provides public information services. 6. Provides a centralized coordination and communications point, and an administrative and operational decision center for the University’s response effort. The EOC is activated when the President, Vice President – Finance or IC elect to activate the CIRT or only those elements deemed necessary for response and recovery. In any emergency, the task of the EOC or any response team is to: 1. Establish communications channels with other departments. 2. Establish communications with Incident Command Post and provide resources. 3. Establish radio and/or telephone communications with the emergency management at each of the campuses. 4. Establish internal telephone communications. 5. Establish computer network links. 6. Set up maps, charts, and aerial photos as required.
