EOP & EOC Approaches

Common approaches Emergency Operations Centers (EOC)

Incident Command System (ICS) EOC Structure  Many jurisdictions configure EOCs using the standard ICS structure. This approach aligns well with the on-scene incident organization, and titles in the standard ICS structure can be modified. There is no requirement for EOCs to organize using this approach.
