The EOC within the Killeen, Texas, police headquarters includes a center conference table with a motorized mechanism that reveals eight flat-screen monitors for use during emergencies.
Supporting the Emergency Plan
Whether open to a variety of uses or dedicated spaces used only for emergency services, EOCs can and should be designed to provide efficient and highly functional space that supports the emergency management plan. Communities looking to build an EOC should consider: y What kind of management structure will be used (e.g., an incident command structure, emergency support system), and how can the facility be designed to accommodate that structure? y Who will use the space? How many staff members will handle a shift, and how many departments and agencies will be represented? y What kind of configuration and technology will best support the flow of communications, as outlined in the plan? How much collaboration is needed? Are banks of flat screen monitors needed? Will expansive spaces for posting maps and other print visuals be required? y Does the plan necessitate extensive training and exercises, and will that occur in the EOC space? y Will the EOC space be used for other types of meetings and events during non-emergency operations? y What design details, such as the lighting, flooring, furniture, colors, acoustics, and amenities, will enhance operations during emergency events?
