<p>  The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as the central point
of coordination during emergency situations and disasters in Limestone
County. When an emergency occurs, a determination is made as to the
extent of response necessary. During an emergency which poses a threat
to life or property, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated
and the appropriate personnel from government and volunteer
organizations are notified. Key personnel report to the EOC in order
to coordinate the efforts of first responders working on the scene of
the disaster. </p><p> Following the collection and evaluation of information
received from the disaster site, public officials and city and county
department heads make important decisions to provide for the protection
and safety of the citizens of Limestone County. Equipment, manpower
and other resources must be committed to handle the needs of the public
during the emergency. Coordination of these resources is made at the
EOC. Communications among emergency response agencies is essential
during an emergency. Having the heads of these agencies in the EOC
allows for this coordination.</p><p><a href="../../../../images/eoc_large.jpg"><img alt="EOC Command Center" src="../../../../images/eoc_small.jpg" /></a><br />EOC "Command Center" located inside the EMA building</p><p><a href="../../../../images/comm_1_large.jpg"><img alt="Comm Room" src="../../../../images/comm_1_small.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="../../../../images/comm_2_large.jpg"><img alt="Comm Room" src="../../../../images/comm_2_small.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="../../../../images/comm_3_large.jpg"><img alt="Comm Room" src="../../../../images/comm_3_small.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="../../../../images/comm_4_large.jpg"><img alt="Comm Room" src="../../../../images/comm_4_small.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="../../../../images/comm_5_large.jpg"><img alt="Comm room" src="../../../../images/comm_5_small.jpg" /></a><br />Communications room inside the EMA building</p>
