(MGT-346) EOC Operations & Planning for All Hazards (9/23-9/24)

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.
