<br /> <br /> <br />There were no additions or deletions to this agenda. <br /> <br />5. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC) REVIEW <br />County Administrator Baird thanked everyone for coming and observed that the <br />room was a lot cooler and less crowded than it had been during the aftermath of both Hurricanes <br />Frances and Jeanne. He thanked the agencies and staff for their tremendous efforts during our <br />hurricane experiences last year. He noted the inadequate space but that will be corrected in the <br />new County Administration Building Complex. <br />Emergency Services Director John King explained that each Emergency Support <br />Function (ESF) desk in the EOC has a special mission and that each representative would make a <br />short presentation about their duties upon the EOC’s activation.

Emergency government allows many <br />activities to occur without following normal procedures. Prior to restoration of electricity, people <br />rely on government to provide essentials as well as public safety and services. Restoration of <br />electricity is a key to the resumption of more normal routines. He described the physical makeup <br />of the EOC; each ESF has a table and a function, two or more telephones and a laptop. There is <br />also a rumor control/public information section.
